Road bike edr Aluminium 105

When the riding is smooth, speed comes down to resistance and weight, and that's what this rating emphasizes. In real riding, it tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo. Most of the story comes from a fairly average weight, a lighter-feeling mass profile that helps on accelerations and tempo climbs, very wide tires that create extra drag, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Overall on climbs: 6.2/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels moderate. Your easiest gear lands around 28.7 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~40% versus similar bikes. “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. At about 8.8 kg, it’s in a normal range, so gearing matters more than weight swings here. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. 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), with a 6.2/10 aero score, it lands in the ‘do-most-things-well’ aero zone so it won’t hold you back on normal fast riding. The short version 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. This tyre size generally plays nicely with aero goals compared with very wide all-road tyres. Different brands share different amounts of detail, so this uses the most consistent cues that are available. 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. Endurance bikes often keep the front end a bit higher for longer rides. Based on full geometry data.

What affects adjustability on this bike: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width - A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. So we classify it as Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

This scores 5.2/10 for comfort, so it feels moderately comfortable out on the road. So it’s tagged Balanced overall. It’s running about 39 mm tires on 650b wheels, and wider tires let you drop pressure a touch, which smooths out rough pavement on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

This looks like a great buy for the spec on paper. 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 18% under the typical level for similar builds. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 79% of listings. To anchor it: price €1.622 versus an estimated €1.989 for a similar build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This setup suits typical singletrack and varied natural terrain. Suspension travel is unknown in this entry, so the surface range uses the clearest available signals. The Rigid setup supports this riding style.
