Road Bike NCR CF 105 12S

On paved roads, the rating is mostly about fast cruising and how the setup supports higher speeds. Versus the most speed-focused options, this build is shaped by a fairly average weight, aerodynamics that likely help it hold speed once you're rolling, a default tire-width baseline, and a basic drivetrain spec that prioritizes practicality over outright performance.

How it climbs: 6.7/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out above average. For hill work, the easiest gear is moderate. The easiest gear works out to about 27.0 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~58% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Weight is around 8.8 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. It won’t be the absolute best climber, but it won’t hold you back on most climbs either. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

From a general road perspective, aero-wise, at 5.8/10, it’s an all-round aero level and it doesn’t force a specialist aero posture. In everyday language, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. That typically means solid everyday speed without forcing an aggressive position or race-only parts. In open wind, your typical riding position matters as much as the frame shapes.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical - Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical.

Comfort comes out to 5.1/10, which usually translates to a balanced ride. That’s why it’s labeled Balanced. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

This doesn’t look like the best deal once you compare it to similar builds. 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 25% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 36% of listings). Quick reference: €2.497 listed versus about €1.994 for a comparable build. A few manufacturer details aren’t clearly published, so treat this as a best-effort estimate, not a precise verdict. Put simply: it’s a bit pricey for what you get.

This is a road bike that stays comfortable when the pavement gets rough. Tire size details aren’t available here, so the label follows the overall setup and category cues. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
