MILANO

This road speed rating is tuned for paved riding - think steady fast tempo and easier acceleration. In practice, it prioritizes confidence and everyday riding over outright pace. Most of the story comes from all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

How it climbs: 2.5/10. Within Road bikes, it lands below average. On longer climbs, the gearing lands on the tall side. That lowest gear comes out around 29.2 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~38% 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. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Aero-wise, at 5.8/10, with tyres around 32mm, it lands in the ‘do-most-things-well’ aero zone and it doesn’t force a specialist aero posture. What that means on the road is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Its general road label helps explain the balance between speed, comfort, and versatility. Not every brand publishes the same detail, so this leans on the clearest available specs. In practice, it’s a balanced setup: decent in the wind without demanding big compromises elsewhere.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. Some measurements were missing, so part of this is estimated.

Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time, Seatpost details do not strongly point to a very locked-in or very flexible system. At the same time, A 2-bolt clamp makes precise saddle setup easier. So we classify it as Adjustable.

Ride comfort is 5.1/10 — on a real ride it feels balanced. So it’s tagged Balanced overall. It’s running about 32 mm tires on 700c wheels, and there’s a bit of cushion, but it still rides fairly direct on rough pavement on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

For the spec, this is priced well into premium territory. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 98% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 11% of them. Quick reference: €2.899 listed versus about €1.465 for a comparable build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

This setup is made for real-world roads with cracks and patches. The tire size is around 32 mm, which helps smooth out rough pavement. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
