Planet X Hurricane SRAM Rival AXS

It leans strongly toward pace compared with similar bikes. This road speed rating is tuned for paved riding - think steady fast tempo and easier acceleration. The main reasons are narrow road tires that keep resistance low, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

On steep roads, it comes in at 3.9/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks below average. On longer climbs, the gearing lands on the easy side. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 24.8 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~74% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

On the endurance side of things, with geometry that’s fairly neutral, at 6.2/10 for aerodynamics, it’s a practical middle ground so it sits comfortably in the all-rounder lane. What that means on the road is: 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. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. This tyre size generally plays nicely with aero goals compared with very wide all-road tyres. 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.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. It feels this way because you get a large drop: roughly 102 mm from saddle to bar, plus about 555 mm of stretch forward (long). Expect a lean angle around 39 degrees. Endurance geometry usually trades some tuck for all-day comfort. Spacer height is roughly 21 mm.

What affects adjustability on this bike: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability. At the same time, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. Net result: Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 3.0/10 — on a real ride it feels more responsive than cushy. That’s why it’s labeled Race-Stiff. It’s running about 25 mm tires on 700c wheels, and you feel more of the road texture with narrow tires on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~39°), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. 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 comes in about 14% under the typical level for similar builds. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 76% of listings. Quick reference: €3.369 listed versus about €3.925 for a comparable build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This bike is built for smooth pavement and fast road riding. The tire size is around 25 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. Even though it’s tagged Endurance, the spec pushes it toward Road Only.
