CCT Team Race

When the riding is smooth, speed comes down to resistance and weight, and that's what this rating emphasizes. Compared with comfort-biased setups, this build is shaped by all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

How it climbs: 3.3/10. Within Road bikes, it lands below average. For hill work, the easiest gear is moderate. That lowest gear comes out around 27.0 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~58% for low-gear climbing. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

On the endurance side of things, with shallow rims (~28mm), scoring 5.9/10 on aero, it sits in the ‘good enough everywhere’ aero zone so it won’t hold you back on normal fast riding. In everyday language, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The wheels are on the shallower side (around 28mm), so frame shapes and position likely matter more than wheel depth here. That wheel depth is more all-round than purely aero-focused. Different brands share different amounts of detail, so this uses the most consistent cues that are available. It’s a middle-ground feel: not the fastest possible in the wind, but not holding you back either.

Comfort fit - comfort-leaning without feeling sluggish. Endurance bikes often keep the front end a bit higher for longer rides. Some measurements were missing, so part of this is estimated.

What affects adjustability on this bike: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, Cables routed through the headset add complexity when changing the cockpit, Seatpost info looks fairly neutral, so most fit change comes from cockpit choices. Plus, System terms found in the spec text include: ICR. Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable.

Ride comfort is 5.1/10 — on a real ride it feels moderately comfortable. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

This is a road bike that stays comfortable when the pavement gets rough. The tire size is unknown in this entry, so the surface range is based on the clearest available signals. The wheel setup (700c) supports that direction.
