Resolution Shimano

For road bikes, this score reflects how easily the bike carries speed on smooth tarmac. This means it tends to feel lively when you accelerate or surge. The strongest influences are all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load.

If your rides include hills, it rates 3.3/10 for climbing. Within Road bikes, it sits below average. It has a middle-of-the-road low gear for climbing. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 27.0 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~58% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. A good middle-ground if you want mixed routes that include some hills. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Category-wise (endurance), sitting at 6.0/10 for aero, it’s built to be well-rounded in the wind so it works well across lots of riding. Put simply, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Different categories trade aerodynamics against comfort and stability—endurance is part of that story. Not every brand publishes the same detail, so this leans on the clearest available specs. It’s a middle-ground feel: not the fastest possible in the wind, but not holding you back either.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. Because the bar sits about 85 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 555 mm in total (long). Expect a lean angle around 36 degrees.

Net result: Adjustable. Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. Also, Micro-adjust or 2-bolt clamping helps fine-tune saddle tilt and position. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Comfort comes out to 5.0/10, which usually translates to a moderately comfortable ride. So it’s tagged Balanced overall. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~36°), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

Overall, this feels reasonably priced. 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 spec estimate, it’s about 8% above the typical level for similar builds. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 60% of listings). Quick reference: €4.120 listed versus about €3.799 for a comparable build. Overall, it sits in the expected range for the category.

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.
