Road bike RC 120

For road bikes, this score reflects how easily the bike carries speed on smooth tarmac. Compared with bikes built for pure pace, this build is shaped by a heavier build, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, and a basic drivetrain spec that prioritizes practicality over outright performance.

How it climbs: 5.5/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks around the middle. It has a middle-of-the-road low gear for climbing. Your easiest gear lands around 27.0 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~58% 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. With roughly 11.5 kg to move uphill, you’ll feel it more as climbs get longer. It won’t be the absolute best climber, but it won’t hold you back on most climbs either. 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.

From an endurance perspective, sitting at 6.7/10 for aero, it’s aero-aware without going extreme so you get some benefit when the wind matters. What that means on the road is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The endurance category also hints at the intent behind the design. This tyre size generally plays nicely with aero goals compared with very wide all-road tyres. 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. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

In Road, This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width. Plus, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical. So we classify it as Adjustable. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

This scores 5.7/10 for comfort, so it feels fairly neutral out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. It’s running about 39 mm tires, and extra tire volume helps mute vibration and small bumps on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 77% 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 100% of listings. To anchor it: price €486 versus an estimated €2.115 for a similar build. Some manufacturer details aren’t fully published, so use this as a helpful direction rather than a final verdict. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This bike is comfortable on gravel roads and unpaved back roads, and it still rides well on tarmac. The tire size is around 48 mm, which gives grip and control on loose gravel. Even though it’s tagged Endurance, the spec pushes it toward Gravel Ready.
