Planet X EC-130E Rivet Rider Disc SRAM Rival 22 Carbon

It's a balanced setup rather than a pure speed machine. For road bikes, the speed score favors setups that waste less energy at higher speeds. It trends this way because of a fairly average weight, aerodynamics that likely help it hold speed once you're rolling, a baseline tire-width assumption, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

Climb score: 5.2/10. Within Road bikes, it lands around the middle. The easiest gear is on the tall side for proper hills. That lowest gear comes out around 32.4 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~18% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. Weight is around 8.9 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. On proper hills, you’ll feel it — this setup isn’t built to make climbing effortless. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

Given a more tucked posture, sitting at 9.0/10 for aero, aero is one of the main points of the design where aerodynamics is the main lever. Put simply, it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. A tidier cockpit and cable routing can help a little once you’re riding quickly. Not every brand publishes the same detail, so this leans on the clearest available specs. If you ride at higher speeds, this is the kind of bike that’s designed to pay you back for that effort.

Sporty fit - more tuck for efficiency, but still manageable for many riders. You get this posture because the front end is very large, with ~124 mm of saddle-to-bar drop, with a long stretch forward at ~559 mm. Estimated lean is about 43 degrees.

The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability; From the seatpost text provided, there are no strong constraints or bonuses. Net result: Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 2.9/10 — on a real ride it feels more responsive than cushy. That’s the reason it lands as Firm. The posture is race-leaning (posture 7/10, torso ~43°), which tends to feel more direct, especially over rougher sections.

This looks like strong value without any tricky caveats. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 28% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 89% of listings. Quick reference: €2.371 listed versus about €3.274 for a comparable build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. Tire size details aren’t available here, so the label follows the overall setup and category cues. The wheel setup (700c) supports that direction.
