785 Huez 105 Di2

This road speed rating is tuned for paved riding - think steady fast tempo and easier acceleration. The biggest contributors are 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. In practice, it's biased toward performance over comfort-focused choices.

How it climbs: 3.3/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks below average. It has a middle-of-the-road low gear for climbing. Your easiest gear lands around 27.0 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~58% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. It can climb, but you’ll likely prefer smoother pacing on longer hills. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

For a race-focused build, that 7.7/10 aero rating suggests that it’s shaped to hold speed once you’re moving quickly and it’ll feel quicker on open roads. Put simply, it’s built with speed in mind, with choices that reduce wind drag once you’re riding faster. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. That tyre width is common on performance road builds and tends to suit aero goals. In real riding, it tends to reward holding speed: the faster you go, the more the aero design helps.

Sporty fit - more tuck for efficiency, but still manageable for many riders. Because the cockpit sits 98 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~565 mm (long). You'll likely be near 38 degrees of lean.

Overall, it is in the Highly Adjustable bucket. This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. At the same time, A standard round seatpost size gives you many options for fit and replacements. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 2.2/10, which usually translates to a harsh on rough surfaces ride. That’s why it’s labeled Race-Stiff. It’s running about 25 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 ~38°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

This doesn’t look like the best deal once you compare it to similar builds. 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). Based on the spec estimate, it’s about 19% above the typical level for similar builds. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 52% of listings). Quick reference: €5.765 listed versus about €4.859 for a comparable build. Overall, it doesn’t look like the best value for the spec.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. Tires around 25 mm usually mean it’s tuned for smooth-road speed. The wheel setup (700c) supports that direction.
