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.

Climb score: 6.5/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks around the middle. It has a middle-of-the-road low gear for climbing. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 27.0 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~58% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. Weight is around 9.1 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. 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.

Category-wise (triathlon), scoring 10.0/10 on aero, drag reduction is a headline goal and it’s meant to pay you back at high speed. 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. The wheels are on the shallower side (around 22mm), so frame shapes and position likely matter more than wheel depth here. These wheels lean more toward stability and versatility than pure aero. A tidier cockpit and cable routing can help a little once you’re riding quickly. 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 ~602 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.

Comfort comes out to 1.9/10, which usually translates to a very firm ride. 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.

From a value angle, this comes out as a standout deal. 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 spec estimate, it comes in about 23% under the typical level for similar builds. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 90% of listings. Quick reference: €2.624 listed versus about €3.407 for a comparable build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. The tire size is around 25 mm, which is typical for fast road setups. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
