Road bike edr Aluminium Disc 105

This road speed rating is tuned for paved riding - think steady fast tempo and easier acceleration. Next to race-leaning setups, this build is shaped by a fairly average weight, a lighter-feeling mass profile that helps on accelerations and tempo climbs, very wide tires that create extra drag, and a basic drivetrain spec that prioritizes practicality over outright performance.

On steep roads, it comes in at 5.6/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out around the middle. The easiest gear is on the tall side for proper hills. The easiest gear works out to about 30.4 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~35% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Weight is around 8.8 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. It can climb, but you’ll likely prefer smoother pacing on longer hills. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

From a triathlon perspective, with rims around 50mm, aero-wise, at 9.7/10, drag reduction is a headline goal so the faster you ride, the more it shows. What that means on the road is: it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. The triathlon tag is a useful clue for how wind efficiency ranks among the priorities. This tyre size generally plays nicely with aero goals compared with very wide all-road tyres. Different brands share different amounts of detail, so this uses the most consistent cues that are available. The faster you ride, the more this aero focus tends to show up in how it holds speed.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. Tri bikes are designed around a very forward, tucked position when fitted. Based on full geometry data.

So we classify it as Adjustable. This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts. Another point: Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Comfort comes out to 3.5/10, which usually translates to a firm ride. That’s the reason it lands as Firm. It’s running about 39 mm tires on 650b wheels, and extra tire volume helps mute vibration and small bumps on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is race-leaning (posture 8/10), which puts more weight forward, so you notice more feedback through the hands and saddle.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. 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 60% 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 €1.497 versus an estimated €3.717 for a similar build. Some manufacturer details aren’t fully published, so use this as a helpful direction rather than a final verdict. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This bike is built for everyday trails with a mix of roots, rocks, and turns. Suspension travel details aren’t available here, so the label follows the category and the rest of the setup. It’s listed as Triathlon, but the parts point more toward Natural Trails.
