Teammachine R 01 THREE

This road-speed measure focuses on efficient pace on asphalt, where drag and rolling resistance matter most. The score is largely shaped by narrow road tires that keep resistance low, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. When you push the pace, it tends to feel lively when you accelerate or surge.

How it climbs: 2.7/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out below average. It has a middle-of-the-road low gear for climbing. The easiest gear works out to about 28.6 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~43% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. 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.

Looking at it as a race-focused setup, at 8.6/10 for aerodynamics, on a 26mm tyre setup, it’s very clearly optimized for windy, fast terrain and it’s built to feel efficient at pace. In everyday language, it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. Its race label helps explain the balance between speed, comfort, and versatility. Rims around 50mm are more of an all-round choice than a pure aero choice. That wheel depth is more all-round than purely aero-focused. This tyre size generally plays nicely with aero goals compared with very wide all-road tyres. A more integrated front end usually reduces minor drag points around the cockpit. If you ride at higher speeds, this is the kind of bike that’s designed to pay you back for that effort.

Sporty fit - more tuck for efficiency, but still manageable for many riders. Because there's about 99 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 569 mm of forward stretch to the bar (long). Estimated lean is about 39 degrees.

Why this fit flexibility rating: The bar and stem are integrated as one unit, so changing reach or bar height is more restrictive. Also, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. Net result: Limited Adjustment.

Ride comfort is 2.5/10 — on a real ride it feels harsh on rough surfaces. That’s why it’s labeled Race-Stiff. It’s running about 26 mm tires on 700c wheels, and narrow tires usually mean higher pressure, so more buzz comes through on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~39°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

The value looks a bit weak compared with similar options. 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 28% above what similar builds typically cost. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 47% of listings). Quick reference: €9.975 listed versus about €7.775 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s a bit pricey for what you get.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. Tires around 26 mm usually mean it’s tuned for smooth-road speed. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
