Road Bike EDR CF 105 Disc

On asphalt, it's mainly a question of resistance and efficiency, and that's what the score summarizes. The strongest influences are a light setup, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, narrow road tires that keep resistance low, and a basic drivetrain spec that prioritizes practicality over outright performance.

How it climbs: 5.4/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out around the middle. On steep gradients, you’ll be grinding more than spinning. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 32.8 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~9% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. At about 8.2 kg, it’s in a normal range, so gearing matters more than weight swings here. This is happiest on flatter terrain; steep stuff will feel demanding. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

From an endurance perspective, on a 25mm tyre setup, at 6.2/10 for aerodynamics, it lands in the ‘do-most-things-well’ aero zone so it won’t hold you back on normal fast riding. What that means on the road is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. 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. It’s a middle-ground feel: not the fastest possible in the wind, but not holding you back either.

Comfort fit - less tuck and easier on neck and shoulders. Endurance geometry usually trades some tuck for all-day comfort. Some measurements were missing, so part of this is estimated.

Why this fit flexibility rating: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, and Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Overall, it falls into Adjustable.

This scores 3.1/10 for comfort, so it feels more responsive than cushy out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. It’s running about 25 mm tires on 700c wheels, and narrow tires usually mean higher pressure, so more buzz comes through 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 high asking price for the build level. 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 comparison, it sits roughly 41% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 28% of listings). Quick reference: €3.120 listed versus about €2.205 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 priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This setup is focused on speed and efficiency on paved roads. Tires around 25 mm usually mean it’s tuned for smooth-road speed. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
