Expression E+ 2

On the road, small changes in drag and tire resistance add up, and this score captures that effect. If it's an e-bike, think of this as a bike speed feel score: how the parts and setup help the bike move fast. Most of the story comes from very wide tires that create extra drag, a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value, and a more tucked riding position that cuts wind resistance.

Climb score: 2.9/10. Within e-road bikes, it ranks below average. The easiest gear is on the tall side for proper hills. Your easiest gear lands around 28.5 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~38% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Being an e-bike helps on climbs because the assist adds steady push when you need it. 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 general road perspective, rated 5.2/10 for aero, with ~55mm tyres, it’s aero-aware without going extreme so it sits comfortably in the all-rounder lane. Put simply, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. A more relaxed posture is easier to hold, but it generally increases the amount of wind you push through. Wider tyres like this tend to trade a bit of aero efficiency for comfort and confidence. In practice, it’s a balanced setup: decent in the wind without demanding big compromises elsewhere.

Relaxed / Upright fit - minimal forward lean for relaxed riding. That's driven by the cockpit sits 1 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~548 mm (long). Expect a lean angle around 21 degrees.

Net result: Adjustable. Main reasons for the fit flexibility result: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time. Plus, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Ride comfort is 7.4/10 — on a real ride it feels comfortable. That’s the reason it lands as Comfortable. It’s running about 55 mm tires on 700c wheels, and extra tire volume helps mute vibration and small bumps on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is upright (posture 3/10), which makes long rides feel easier on the body.

From a value angle, this comes out as a standout deal. 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 37% 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 91% of listings. Quick reference: €3.369 listed versus about €5.382 for a comparable build. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This is a road bike that stays comfortable when the pavement gets rough. 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.
