Speedmachine 01 MOD

This road speed rating is tuned for paved riding - think steady fast tempo and easier acceleration. It trends this way because of typical road tire sizing assumptions, aerodynamics that likely help it hold speed once you're rolling, and a basic drivetrain spec that prioritizes practicality over outright performance. In real riding, it's set up to reward hard efforts with higher cruising speed.

How it climbs: 1.8/10. Within Road bikes, it sits near the bottom. You may find yourself pushing a bit more on steeper grades. That lowest gear comes out around 32.4 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~18% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. On proper hills, you’ll feel it — this setup isn’t built to make climbing effortless. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

Looking at it as a triathlon setup, that 9.5/10 aero rating suggests that with more integrated details, it’s at the sharp end of aero priorities and it’s built to feel efficient at pace. What that means on the road is: it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. The triathlon category also hints at the intent behind the design. Even with a more relaxed fit, the overall package still leans strongly toward speed once you’re riding fast. A tidier cockpit and cable routing can help a little once you’re riding quickly. On fast flats and windy days, it’s built to feel like it wastes less energy pushing air.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. That's driven by the cockpit sits 93 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~549 mm (long). Estimated lean is about 38 degrees. Tri bikes are designed around a very forward, tucked position when fitted.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, and Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. Overall, it falls into Adjustable.

Comfort comes out to 3.0/10, which usually translates to a more responsive than cushy ride. That’s the reason it lands as Firm. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~38°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

For the spec, this is priced well into premium territory. 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 70% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 13% of them. Quick reference: €6.999 listed versus about €4.109 for a comparable build. Some manufacturer details aren’t fully published, so use this as a helpful direction rather than a final verdict. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

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. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
