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's quick enough for most rides, but not a pure fastest-possible build.

Overall on climbs: 1.8/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out near the bottom. On longer climbs, the gearing lands on the tall side. Your easiest gear lands around 32.4 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~18% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. On proper hills, you’ll feel it — this setup isn’t built to make climbing effortless. 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.

For a triathlon build, sitting at 9.5/10 for aero, it’s very clearly optimized for windy, fast terrain especially on fast flats and windy days. What that means on the road is: it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. The triathlon category also hints at the intent behind the design. A tidier cockpit and cable routing can help a little once you’re riding quickly. The faster you ride, the more this aero focus tends to show up in how it holds speed.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. Based on full geometry data.

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.

Comfort comes out to 2.9/10, which usually translates to a quite direct ride. That’s why it’s labeled Firm. The posture is race-leaning (posture 7/10), which puts more weight forward, so you notice more feedback through the hands and saddle.

You may be paying a premium here. 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 39% of listings). To anchor it: price €8.295 versus an estimated €6.248 for a similar build. Bottom line: you may be paying extra versus similar options.

This bike is best when your rides stay on clean tarmac. Tire size details aren’t available here, so the label follows the overall setup and category cues. The wheel setup (700c) supports that direction.
