Specialissima Super Record EPS

It tends to feel lively when you accelerate or surge. This road-focused speed score is primarily about smooth-surface momentum and top-end efficiency. The setup that matters most here is narrow road tires that keep resistance low and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. On paper, aero efficiency is a major part of the speed feel here.

Climb score: 1.3/10. Within Road bikes, it sits near the bottom. The lowest gear is very tall when the road tilts up. That lowest gear comes out around 33.5 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~7% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. On proper hills, you’ll feel it — this setup isn’t built to make climbing effortless. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

In race-focused terms, with a 7.6/10 aero score, it’s noticeably more speed-leaning in open wind so it rewards steady fast riding. In everyday language, it’s built with speed in mind, with choices that reduce wind drag once you’re riding faster. The race category also hints at the intent behind the design. That tyre width is common on performance road builds and tends to suit aero goals. Details like hidden cables and a cleaner cockpit can add up to small aero gains at speed. Specs can vary by market and model year, so the summary follows the strongest published signals. On flatter roads and into headwinds, this kind of setup often feels noticeably quicker than more comfort-first designs.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. It feels this way because the front end is large, with ~102 mm of saddle-to-bar drop, with a long stretch forward at ~578 mm. You'll likely be near 39 degrees of lean. Spacer height is roughly 8 mm.

That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. What affects adjustability on this bike: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability, Routing through the headset can make cockpit swaps harder than normal internal routing. Also, Micro-adjust or 2-bolt clamping helps fine-tune saddle tilt and position.

This scores 2.4/10 for comfort, so it feels very firm out on the road. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. It’s running about 26 mm tires on 700c wheels, and you feel more of the road texture with narrow tires on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is race-leaning (posture 7/10, torso ~39°), which tends to feel more direct, especially over rougher sections.

Against comparable bikes, this comes out looking overpriced. 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 118% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 10% of them. Quick reference: €13.440 listed versus about €6.179 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This bike is built for smooth pavement and fast road riding. Tire size details aren’t available here, so the label follows the overall setup and category cues. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
