Speedmax CF 7

On paved roads, the rating is mostly about fast cruising and how the setup supports higher speeds. Several build choices play a role, including a fairly average weight, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load.

Climb score: 5.0/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks around the middle. You may find yourself pushing a bit more on steeper grades. The easiest gear works out to about 32.4 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~18% for low-gear climbing. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. Weight is around 9.6 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. This is happiest on flatter terrain; steep stuff will feel demanding. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

Looking at it as a triathlon setup, coming in at 10.0/10 on aero, it’s at the sharp end of aero priorities and it’s built to feel efficient at pace. Put simply, it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. With rims around 62mm deep, the wheels clearly lean toward an aero setup. That rim depth is a classic aero-leaning choice for faster riding. That tyre width is common on performance road builds and tends to suit aero goals. Details like hidden cables and a cleaner cockpit can add up to small aero gains at speed. 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. Because handlebar height is roughly 103 mm lower than the saddle (large drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 609 mm (very long). You'll likely be near 38 degrees of lean. TT/tri intent often means a more extreme tuck with the right setup.

Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, Internal routing looks tidy but can make cockpit changes a bit more fiddly. Also, Aero or proprietary posts often restrict how easily you can change fit parts. That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

This scores 2.5/10 for comfort, so it feels very firm out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. It’s running about 27 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, torso ~38°), which puts more weight forward, so you notice more feedback through the hands and saddle.

This is the kind of deal people usually notice quickly. 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). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 54% 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 99% of listings. To anchor it: price €4.199 versus an estimated €9.072 for a similar 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 28 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
