Speedmachine 01 ONE

For road riding, the score leans toward outright pace rather than comfort-first priorities. It ends up here thanks to a fairly average weight, all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, 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. In real riding, it's one of the more speed-focused builds in its group.

Climbing rating: 5.8/10. Within Road bikes, it sits around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels tall. Your easiest gear lands around 29.5 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~37% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. With roughly 8.9 kg to move uphill, you’ll feel it more as climbs get longer. It won’t be the absolute best climber, but it won’t hold you back on most climbs either. 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 triathlon side of things, at 10.0/10 for aerodynamics, it’s built to minimize air resistance at pace and it’s built to feel efficient at pace. The short version is: it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. The triathlon tag is a useful clue for how wind efficiency ranks among the priorities. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. With rims around 85mm deep, the wheels clearly lean toward an aero setup. Deeper rims like this can matter on open roads once speeds rise. That tyre width is common on performance road builds and tends to suit aero goals. 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 there's about 92 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 557 mm of forward stretch to the bar (long). Plan for roughly 38 degrees of lean.

Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time. At the same time, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. Net result: Adjustable.

This scores 3.1/10 for comfort, so it feels quite direct out on the road. So it’s tagged Firm overall. It’s running about 28 mm tires on 700c wheels, and you feel more of the road texture with narrow tires on chipseal and broken pavement. 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. 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 94% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 8% of them. Quick reference: €17.850 listed versus about €9.198 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This bike is built for smooth pavement and fast road riding. Tires around 28 mm usually mean it’s tuned for smooth-road speed. The wheel setup (700c) supports that direction.
