B Performance 105

It's tuned to feel quick when you push the speed. For road riding, the score leans toward outright pace rather than comfort-first priorities. The score is largely shaped by a fairly average weight, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, narrow road tires that keep resistance low, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Overall on climbs: 4.9/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out around the middle. The lowest gear is very tall when the road tilts up. The easiest gear works out to about 34.7 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~6% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Weight is around 9.1 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. 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.

In triathlon terms, at 10.0/10 for aerodynamics, with a cleaner-looking front end, aero is one of the main points of the design where aerodynamics is the main lever. In everyday language, it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. A lower front end can help you tuck in a bit, even if the bike itself isn’t built as an aero specialist. This tyre size generally plays nicely with aero goals compared with very wide all-road tyres. A more integrated front end usually reduces minor drag points around the cockpit. If you ride at higher speeds, this is the kind of bike that’s designed to pay you back for that effort.

Race / Pro fit - a very performance-focused fit with more load on core and arms. This is mainly because the front end is very large, with ~137 mm of saddle-to-bar drop, with a very long stretch forward at ~604 mm. Plan for roughly 44 degrees of lean. Tri bikes are designed around a very forward, tucked position when fitted.

Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width. Also, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 1.8/10 — on a real ride it feels stiff-feeling. That’s why it’s labeled Race-Stiff. It’s running about 25 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 ~44°), which tends to feel more direct, especially over rougher sections.

This is the kind of deal people usually notice quickly. 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 22% under the typical level for similar builds. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 84% of listings. Quick reference: €2.624 listed versus about €3.372 for a comparable build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This setup is focused on speed and efficiency on paved roads. The tire size is around 25 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
