Roadmachine 01 ONE

It sits toward the faster end for comparable bikes. In a road context, the speed rating is about holding pace with less effort once you're up to speed. The setup that matters most here is a very light build, a lighter-feeling mass profile that helps on accelerations and tempo climbs, all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load.

Overall on climbs: 8.0/10. Within Road bikes, it lands above average. The low gear is workable, but not super easy on steep ramps. The easiest gear works out to about 27.8 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~49% for low-gear climbing. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. At roughly 7.2 kg, it’s on the lighter side, which helps when the climb drags on. A good middle-ground if you want mixed routes that include some hills. 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.

For an endurance build, coming in at 7.0/10 on aero, it aims for usable speed without big trade-offs without demanding big compromises elsewhere. Put simply, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. Details like hidden cables and a cleaner cockpit can add up to small aero gains at speed. It’s a middle-ground feel: not the fastest possible in the wind, but not holding you back either.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. Because handlebar height is roughly 83 mm lower than the saddle (large drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 555 mm (long). You'll likely be near 36 degrees of lean.

In Road / Endurance, Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: With a one-piece cockpit, the bike is more fixed in its stock position, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier, and A proprietary or aero-shaped seatpost can limit compatibility and reduce easy swapping. That is why it is categorized Limited Adjustment. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Comfort comes out to 4.7/10, which usually translates to a balanced ride. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. It’s running about 30 mm tires on 700c wheels, and it softens the edges a little, without feeling plush on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~36°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

This looks expensive compared with similar bikes. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 113% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 7% of them. Quick reference: €14.700 listed versus about €6.916 for a comparable build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

This bike is built for smooth pavement and fast road riding. The tire size is around 30 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
