Superleggera CAMPAGNOLO RECORD 12s

In a road context, the speed rating is about holding pace with less effort once you're up to speed. The score is largely shaped by narrow road tires that keep resistance low, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. Put together, they influence both acceleration and the effort needed to hold speed.

Overall on climbs: 2.6/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out below average. On climbs, the lowest gear feels moderate. 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. A good middle-ground if you want mixed routes that include some 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.

On the race-focused side of things, with ~25mm tyres, sitting at 7.3/10 for aero, it aims for usable speed without big trade-offs and it doesn’t force a specialist aero posture. Put simply, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Tyres around 25mm fit a faster road setup and usually keep drag in check. In practice, it’s a balanced setup: decent in the wind without demanding big compromises elsewhere.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

In Road, Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical; Seatpost details do not strongly point to a very locked-in or very flexible system. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Ride comfort is 2.1/10 — on a real ride it feels harsh on rough surfaces. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. 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 race-leaning (posture 7/10), which tends to feel more direct, especially over rougher sections.

This is priced well above what we’d usually expect for a similar setup. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 76% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 23% of them. Quick reference: €7.036 listed versus about €4.005 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. The tire size is around 25 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
