795 BLADE Black Metallic Red Mat Glossy

This road speed rating is tuned for paved riding - think steady fast tempo and easier acceleration. It ends up here thanks to narrow road tires that keep resistance low, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. Put simply, it's one of the more speed-focused builds in its group.

Uphill performance score: 2.4/10. Within Road bikes, it lands below average. The easiest gear is on the tall side for proper hills. The easiest gear works out to about 30.4 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~35% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. A good middle-ground if you want mixed routes that include some hills. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Seen as an aerorace option, aero-wise, at 9.2/10, it’s a speed-first, wind-focused setup so the faster you ride, the more it shows. The short version is: it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. That tyre width is common on performance road builds and tends to suit aero goals. A tidier cockpit and cable routing can help a little once you’re riding quickly. Specs can vary by market and model year, so the summary follows the strongest published signals. The faster you ride, the more this aero focus tends to show up in how it holds speed.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. You get this posture because bars are around 121 mm lower than the saddle, which is a very large drop, and the forward stretch measures around 556 mm (long). Estimated lean is about 43 degrees.

In Road / AeroRace, Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time. Another point: Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket.

Ride comfort is 2.1/10 — on a real ride it feels very firm. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. It’s running about 25 mm tires on 700c wheels, and you feel more of the road texture with narrow tires on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is race-leaning (posture 7/10, torso ~43°), which puts more weight forward, so you notice more feedback through the hands and saddle.

The price feels a touch strong for the parts listed. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 28% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 42% of listings). To anchor it: price €5.249 versus an estimated €4.088 for a similar build. Bottom line: you may be paying extra versus similar options.

This bike is built for smooth pavement and fast road riding. The tire size is around 25 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
