Planet X Pro Carbon Disc SRAM Force 22

For road-style bikes, the score is a proxy for how fast the build feels on normal pavement. What pushes it in this direction 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. In real riding, it's set up to reward hard efforts with higher cruising speed.

Overall on climbs: 6.3/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels moderate. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 28.7 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~40% versus similar bikes. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. With roughly 8.6 kg to move uphill, you’ll feel it more as climbs get longer. A good middle-ground if you want mixed routes that include some hills. 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, sitting at 7.2/10 for aero, with ~25mm tyres, it’s aero-aware without going extreme so it sits comfortably in the all-rounder lane. The short version is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. That tyre width is common on performance road builds and tends to suit aero goals. 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. Because the bar sits about 99 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 562 mm in total (long). Estimated lean is about 39 degrees.

That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability. Plus, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time.

Ride comfort is 2.2/10 — on a real ride it feels stiff-feeling. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. 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 balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

This looks like strong value without any tricky caveats. 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 parts list, it’s roughly 32% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 88% of listings. To anchor it: price €2.870 versus an estimated €4.222 for a similar build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

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.
