Pavo 4 raw limited edition, Shimano Dura Ace DI2

For road bikes, this score reflects how easily the bike carries speed on smooth tarmac. Several build choices play a role, including a default tire-width baseline and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. On paper, aero efficiency is a major part of the speed feel here (based on typical road assumptions). All else equal, it leans strongly toward pace compared with similar bikes.

If your rides include hills, it rates 2.8/10 for climbing. Within Road bikes, this comes out below average. The low gear is workable, but not super easy on steep ramps. The easiest gear works out to about 28.6 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~47% for low-gear climbing. “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. 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, aero-wise, at 7.9/10, with a cleaner-looking front end, it’s shaped to hold speed once you’re moving quickly where wind resistance dominates. What that means on the road is: it’s built with speed in mind, with choices that reduce wind drag once you’re riding faster. Rims around 50mm are more of an all-round choice than a pure aero choice. This looks like a practical wheel choice rather than a max-aero choice. Details like hidden cables and a cleaner cockpit can add up to small aero gains at speed. Different brands share different amounts of detail, so this uses the most consistent cues that are available. When you’re riding quickly, this kind of design can feel easier to keep rolling at the same speed.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. That's driven by handlebar height is roughly 97 mm lower than the saddle (large drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 572 mm (long). You'll likely be near 38 degrees of lean. Estimated spacers: ~10 mm.

Net result: Limited Adjustment. What drives the fit flexibility here: An integrated cockpit tends to limit simple changes like a different stem length. Plus, Cables routed through the headset add complexity when changing the cockpit.

Comfort comes out to 2.9/10, which usually translates to a quite direct ride. That’s why it’s labeled Firm. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~38°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

You’re paying a big premium here versus similar builds. 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 comparison, it sits roughly 52% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 33% of listings). Quick reference: €12.075 listed versus about €7.949 for a comparable build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. Tire size details aren’t available here, so the label follows the overall setup and category cues. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
