Sportif 2.1

On paved roads, the rating is mostly about fast cruising and how the setup supports higher speeds. The strongest influences are a heavier build, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. In combination, they decide how the bike feels when rolling along.

Climbing rating: 5.5/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out around the middle. The low gear is workable, but not super easy on steep ramps. Your easiest gear lands around 27.0 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~58% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Weight is around 11.2 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. A good middle-ground if you want mixed routes that include some 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.

On the endurance side of things, at 6.0/10 for aerodynamics, it keeps decent wind efficiency without becoming a specialist so it’s more efficient than it looks once you’re rolling. The short version is: 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. That typically means solid everyday speed without forcing an aggressive position or race-only parts.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. That's driven by the bar sits about 89 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 552 mm in total (long). Plan for roughly 37 degrees of lean. Endurance bikes often keep the front end a bit higher for longer rides. Front-end spacers are estimated around 23 mm.

So we classify it as Adjustable. This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width. Another point: A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier.

Comfort comes out to 4.8/10, which usually translates to a moderately comfortable ride. That’s why it’s labeled 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 ~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 26% 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 90% of listings. To anchor it: price €999 versus an estimated €1.350 for a similar build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This setup is focused on speed and efficiency on paved roads. The tire size is around 30 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. It’s listed as Endurance, but the setup aligns better with Road Only.
