Gold STC 105 Di2 Tailormade

In a road context, the speed rating is about holding pace with less effort once you're up to speed. Key drivers include 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. Over longer efforts, it prioritizes confidence and everyday riding over outright pace.

How it climbs: 2.8/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks below average. On climbs, the lowest gear feels moderate. That lowest gear comes out around 28.6 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~47% 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. A good middle-ground if you want mixed routes that include some hills. 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.

Category-wise (endurance), coming in at 6.9/10 on aero, it lands in the ‘do-most-things-well’ aero zone so it feels ‘quick enough’ without being a pure aero build. The short version is: 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. Details like hidden cables and a cleaner cockpit can add up to small aero gains at speed. Not every brand publishes the same detail, so this leans on the clearest available specs. That typically means solid everyday speed without forcing an aggressive position or race-only parts.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. Based on full geometry data.

In Road / Endurance, Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable. Fit flexibility summary: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, Internal routing looks tidy but can make cockpit changes a bit more fiddly. At the same time, System terms found in the spec text include: SMR. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

This scores 5.1/10 for comfort, so it feels fairly neutral out on the road. So it’s tagged Balanced overall. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

This reads like a good buy compared with similar bikes. 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). On the spec estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 73% of listings. Quick reference: €4.126 listed versus about €4.366 for a comparable build. Not every spec detail is consistently published, so think of this as a strong hint rather than the last word. Put simply: it’s competitively priced for what you get.

This setup is made for real-world roads with cracks and patches. 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.
