Pride Tri Shimano Ultegra DI2

When the riding is smooth, speed comes down to resistance and weight, and that's what this rating emphasizes. Compared with comfort-biased setups, this build is shaped by typical road tire sizing assumptions, aerodynamics that likely help it hold speed once you're rolling, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. That's why it sits toward the faster end for comparable bikes.

On steep roads, it comes in at 1.8/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks near the bottom. The easiest gear is on the tall side for proper hills. Your easiest gear lands around 32.4 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~18% for low-gear climbing. 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. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Seen as a triathlon option, scoring 9.9/10 on aero, it’s designed around going fast in exposed conditions and it’s meant to pay you back at high speed. The short version is: it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. Different categories trade aerodynamics against comfort and stability—triathlon is part of that story. 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.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. That's driven by the cockpit sits 103 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~590 mm (very long). Expect a lean angle around 39 degrees. Spacer height is roughly 7 mm.

So it lands in Moderately Adjustable. Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, and Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical.

This scores 2.9/10 for comfort, so it feels firm out on the road. That’s why it’s labeled Firm. The posture is race-leaning (posture 7/10, torso ~39°), which puts more weight forward, so you notice more feedback through the hands and saddle.

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 33% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 32% of listings). To anchor it: price €8.295 versus an estimated €6.248 for a similar build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. The tire size is unknown in this entry, so the surface range is based on the clearest available signals. The wheel setup (700c) supports that direction.
