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 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 real riding, it's set up to reward hard efforts with higher cruising speed.

If your rides include hills, it rates 2.6/10 for climbing. Within Road bikes, it ranks below average. It has a middle-of-the-road low gear for climbing. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 28.7 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~40% of them. 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.

Looking at it as a race-focused setup, scoring 7.2/10 on aero, with ~25mm tyres, it sits in the ‘good enough everywhere’ aero zone so it feels ‘quick enough’ without being a pure aero build. 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. The wheels are on the shallower side (around 30mm), so frame shapes and position likely matter more than wheel depth here. This looks like a practical wheel choice rather than a max-aero choice. 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 100 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 563 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.

Comfort comes out to 2.2/10, which usually translates to a very firm ride. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. It’s running about 25 mm tires on 700c wheels, and you feel more of the road texture with narrow tires on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~39°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

This looks like a great buy for the spec on paper. 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). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 38% 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 93% of listings. Quick reference: €2.609 listed versus about €4.222 for a comparable build. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This setup is focused on speed and efficiency on paved roads. The tire size is around 25 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
