Road Bike EDR AF 105

It prioritizes confidence and everyday riding over outright pace. For road-style bikes, the score is a proxy for how fast the build feels on normal pavement. The main reasons are 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.

Uphill performance score: 6.7/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks above average. It has a middle-of-the-road low gear for climbing. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 27.0 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~58% for low-gear climbing. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Weight is around 8.8 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. It can climb, but you’ll likely prefer smoother pacing on longer hills. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

In endurance terms, sitting at 6.5/10 for aero, with ~25mm tyres, it’s tuned for mixed riding rather than pure aero focus 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. Rims around 50mm are more of an all-round choice than a pure aero choice. These wheels lean more toward stability and versatility than pure aero. It’s a middle-ground feel: not the fastest possible in the wind, but not holding you back either.

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

What drives the fit flexibility here: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward - Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. So we classify it as Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

This scores 5.5/10 for comfort, so it feels fairly neutral out on the road. That’s why it’s labeled Balanced. It’s running about 39 mm tires on 700c 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.

From a value angle, this comes out as a standout deal. 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 41% 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 96% of listings. Quick reference: €1.622 listed versus about €2.752 for a comparable build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This setup suits typical singletrack and varied natural terrain. Suspension travel details aren’t available here, so the label follows the category and the rest of the setup. It’s listed as Endurance, but the parts point more toward Natural Trails.
