Turbine SLR SHIMANO ULTEGRA Di2 R8170 2x12s

It leans strongly toward pace compared with similar bikes. On asphalt, it's mainly a question of resistance and efficiency, and that's what the score summarizes. It trends this way because of a light setup, 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.

Climbing rating: 5.5/10. Within Road bikes, it lands around the middle. 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” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. Weight is around 8.2 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. 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.

As a triathlon bike, rated 9.8/10 for aero, it’s built with a ‘race the wind’ mindset with a clear speed-over-everything bias. The short version is: it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. A lower, longer stance usually helps you ride more efficiently in the wind once speed picks up. That tyre width is common on performance road builds and tends to suit aero goals. 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.

Race / Pro fit - a low, stretched position built for speed and aerodynamics. That's driven by the bar sits about 133 mm below the saddle (a very large drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 607 mm in total (very long). You'll likely be near 43 degrees of lean. Estimated spacers: ~8 mm.

In Road / Triathlon, So it lands in Moderately Adjustable. Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical - Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 1.9/10 — on a real ride it feels harsh on rough surfaces. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. It’s running about 25 mm tires on 700c wheels, and you feel more of the road texture with narrow tires on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is race-leaning (posture 8/10, torso ~43°), which tends to feel more direct, especially over rougher sections.

This looks expensive compared with similar bikes. 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 112% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 6% of them. Quick reference: €10.396 listed versus about €4.899 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This bike is built for smooth pavement and fast road riding. 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.
