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.

Overall on climbs: 7.9/10. Within Road bikes, it lands above average. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. That lowest gear comes out around 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 9.9 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.

In cyclocross terms, with a cleaner-looking front end, coming in at 5.5/10 on aero, it aims for usable speed without big trade-offs so you get some benefit when the wind matters. What that means on the road is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Its cyclocross label helps explain the balance between speed, comfort, and versatility. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. Tyres around 33mm are a practical middle ground, with a small aero trade-off compared with narrower race tyres. Specs can vary by market and model year, so the summary follows the strongest published signals. That typically means solid everyday speed without forcing an aggressive position or race-only parts.

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 ~546 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.

Ride comfort is 4.7/10 — on a real ride it feels balanced. So it’s tagged Firm overall. 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 keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

This is the kind of deal people usually notice quickly. 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). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 35% 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. To anchor it: price €1.679 versus an estimated €2.576 for a similar build. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This setup is built for mixed rides where gravel is a normal part of the route. Tire size details aren’t available here, so the label follows the overall setup and category cues. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
