CROSS RACE PRO

It trades speed for comfort, durability, or practicality. This road speed rating is tuned for paved riding - think steady fast tempo and easier acceleration. It trends this way because of a heavier build, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, wider mixed-surface tires that add some drag, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Climbing rating: 7.8/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out above average. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 23.8 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~86% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Weight is around 10.1 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. 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 a cyclocross option, coming in at 5.5/10 on aero, with a cleaner-looking front end, it lands in the ‘do-most-things-well’ aero zone and it doesn’t force a specialist aero posture. The short version is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Tyres around 33mm are a practical middle ground, with a small aero trade-off compared with narrower race tyres. Details like hidden cables and a cleaner cockpit can add up to small aero gains at speed. In practice, it’s a balanced setup: decent in the wind without demanding big compromises elsewhere.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. It feels this way because the front end is large, with ~89 mm of saddle-to-bar drop, with a long stretch forward at ~547 mm. You'll likely be near 37 degrees of lean.

Overall, it falls into Adjustable. What affects adjustability on this bike: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time. Also, Hidden cables usually add a little friction when you swap bars or stems. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 4.7/10, which usually translates to a fairly neutral ride. That’s why it’s labeled Firm. It’s running about 33 mm tires on 700c wheels, and wider tires let you drop pressure a touch, which smooths out rough pavement on rough lanes and gravel patches. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~37°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

This looks like a great buy for the spec on paper. 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 45% 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 94% of listings. To anchor it: price €1.627 versus an estimated €2.945 for a similar build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This setup is built for mixed rides where gravel is a normal part of the route. The tire size is unknown in this entry, so the surface range is based on the clearest available signals. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
