CGR Ti – Hero, Shimano Dura-Ace Di2

This road-focused speed score is primarily about smooth-surface momentum and top-end efficiency. Key drivers include wider mixed-surface tires that add some drag, a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load, and a more tucked riding position that cuts wind resistance. In practice, it tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo.

Overall on climbs: 1.1/10. Within Road bikes, it lands near the bottom. For hill work, the easiest gear is very tall. Your easiest gear lands around 76.5 gear inches. This sits at the tough end — easier than only about ~1% of similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Category-wise (gravel), an aero score of 4.5/10 means that it keeps decent wind efficiency without becoming a specialist so it’s more efficient than it looks once you’re rolling. 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—gravel is part of that story. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. That tyre width leans toward grip and stability first, with a small aero penalty at speed. In practice, it’s a balanced setup: decent in the wind without demanding big compromises elsewhere.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. It feels this way because the bar sits about 70 mm below the saddle (a moderate drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 549 mm in total (long). Expect a lean angle around 34 degrees. Spacer height is roughly 20 mm.

Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical. Another point: Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Net result: Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 5.7/10, which usually translates to a balanced ride. So it’s tagged Balanced overall. It’s running about 40 mm tires on 700c wheels, and extra tire volume helps mute vibration and small bumps on rough lanes and gravel patches. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10, torso ~34°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

You may be paying a premium here. 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 31% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 35% of listings). To anchor it: price €8.488 versus an estimated €6.472 for a similar build. Overall, it doesn’t look like the best value for the spec.

This bike is comfortable on gravel roads and unpaved back roads, and it still rides well on tarmac. Tires around 40 mm are well suited for gravel roads and unpaved connectors. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
