CCT EVO ultra

This road speed rating is tuned for paved riding - think steady fast tempo and easier acceleration. Key drivers include all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. Under the hood, aero efficiency is a major part of the speed feel here. All else equal, it's designed for a mix of riding rather than top-end pace.

Climbing rating: 3.3/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks below average. The low gear is workable, but not super easy on steep ramps. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 27.0 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~58% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. It can climb, but you’ll likely prefer smoother pacing on longer hills. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

Seen as an endurance option, coming in at 6.4/10 on aero, it’s tuned for mixed riding rather than pure aero focus so it feels ‘quick enough’ without being a pure aero build. Put simply, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The endurance tag is a useful clue for how wind efficiency ranks among the priorities. The wheels are on the shallower side (around 24mm), so frame shapes and position likely matter more than wheel depth here. These wheels lean more toward stability and versatility than pure aero. Tyres around 28mm fit a faster road setup and usually keep drag in check. A tidier cockpit and cable routing can help a little once you’re riding quickly. In practice, it’s a balanced setup: decent in the wind without demanding big compromises elsewhere.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. Endurance bikes often keep the front end a bit higher for longer rides. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

In Road / Endurance, That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. What drives the fit flexibility here: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability - Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

This scores 4.2/10 for comfort, so it feels quite direct out on the road. So it’s tagged Firm overall. It’s running about 28 mm tires, and you feel more of the road texture with narrow tires on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

This bike is road-focused, but it’s more forgiving on bumpy pavement. The tire size is unknown in this entry, so the surface range is based on the clearest available signals. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
