The web claims 52/42/30 front, & 12-25 Cassette on the rear.
With a small 30 tooth Front & big 25 tooth rear, that's pretty good for climbing.
I suspect it's low RPM and/or technique causing you some troubles.

Well, to my mind a 30 tooth small ring and only a 25 tooth big cog, the gearing isn't all that low especially for a triple setup. A larger cassette would be helpful depending on the capacity of the rear derailleur
