Planet X Pro Carbon SRAM Force AXS

It leans strongly toward pace compared with similar bikes. For road bikes, the speed score favors setups that waste less energy at higher speeds. The setup that matters most here is a fairly average weight, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, narrow road tires that keep resistance low, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Uphill performance score: 6.7/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks above average. It has a middle-of-the-road low gear for climbing. The easiest gear works out to about 27.0 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~58% versus similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. 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. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

Seen as a race-focused option, at 7.3/10 for aerodynamics, it’s aero-aware without going extreme so it’s more efficient than it looks once you’re rolling. In everyday language, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. Tyres around 25mm fit a faster road setup and usually keep drag in check. It’s a middle-ground feel: not the fastest possible in the wind, but not holding you back either.

Sporty fit - more tuck for efficiency, but still manageable for many riders. It feels this way because bars are around 99 mm lower than the saddle, which is a large drop, and the forward stretch measures around 562 mm (long). Plan for roughly 39 degrees of lean.

In Road, Net result: Adjustable. Fit flexibility summary: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts. At the same time, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 2.2/10 — on a real ride it feels harsh on rough surfaces. 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 ~39°), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

For the spec, this feels competitively priced. 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 estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 61% of listings). To anchor it: price €3.744 versus an estimated €3.841 for a similar build. Put simply: it’s competitively priced for what you get.

This bike is built for smooth pavement and fast road riding. The tire size is around 25 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. The wheel setup (700c) supports that direction.
