In a road context, the speed rating is about holding pace with less effort once you're up to speed. It trends this way because of all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. As a result, it's designed for a mix of riding rather than top-end pace.

On steep roads, it comes in at 2.6/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out below average. It has a middle-of-the-road low gear for climbing. The easiest gear works out to about 28.7 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~40% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. 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.

In race-focused terms, that 7.3/10 aero rating suggests that it’s a practical middle ground so it’s more efficient than it looks once you’re rolling. The short version is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Tyres around 30mm are a practical middle ground, with a small aero trade-off compared with narrower race tyres. Details like hidden cables and a cleaner cockpit can add up to small aero gains at speed. That typically means solid everyday speed without forcing an aggressive position or race-only parts.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. This is mainly because there's about 96 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 545 mm of forward stretch to the bar (long). Expect a lean angle around 39 degrees.

Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical. Also, Hidden cables usually add a little friction when you swap bars or stems. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 3.7/10, which usually translates to a more responsive than cushy ride. That’s why it’s labeled Balanced. It’s running about 30 mm tires on 700c wheels, and it softens the edges a little, without feeling plush on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~39°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

From a value angle, this comes out as a standout deal. 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 43% 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 95% of listings. Quick reference: €1.200 listed versus about €2.105 for a comparable build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. The tire size is around 30 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
