E-117 Tri Disc SRAM Force 22

This road-focused speed score is primarily about smooth-surface momentum and top-end efficiency. Put simply, it's designed for a mix of riding rather than top-end pace. The main reasons are all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Overall on climbs: 1.3/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out near the bottom. This setup leans heavily toward ‘push’ rather than ‘spin’ on climbs. That lowest gear comes out around 34.7 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~6% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Category-wise (triathlon), scoring 9.2/10 on aero, it’s very clearly optimized for windy, fast terrain and it’s meant to pay you back at high speed. What that means on the road is: it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. This tyre size generally plays nicely with aero goals compared with very wide all-road tyres. Different brands share different amounts of detail, so this uses the most consistent cues that are available. On fast flats and windy days, it’s built to feel like it wastes less energy pushing air.

Sporty fit - more tuck for efficiency, but still manageable for many riders. Some measurements were missing, so part of this is estimated.

Net result: Adjustable. This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time. Another point: A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

This scores 2.9/10 for comfort, so it feels more responsive than cushy out on the road. So it’s tagged Firm overall. It’s running about 28 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 race-leaning (posture 8/10), which puts more weight forward, so you notice more feedback through the hands and saddle.

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 spec estimate, it comes in about 13% under the typical level for similar builds. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 77% of listings. To anchor it: price €3.600 versus an estimated €4.129 for a similar build. A few manufacturer details aren’t clearly published, so treat this as a best-effort estimate, not a precise verdict. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. The tire size is around 28 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
