BEYOND E

For road-style bikes, the score is a proxy for how fast the build feels on normal pavement. Most of the story comes from a heavier build, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. These factors stack up and show up most at higher speeds or higher effort.

On steep roads, it comes in at 6.1/10. Within e-road bikes, it lands around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels easy. The easiest gear works out to about 19.3 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~94% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. At about 18.6 kg, it’s a heavy build; the low gear matters even more when the slope kicks up. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

For a gravel build, rated 4.5/10 for aero, it’s aero-aware without going extreme and without demanding big compromises elsewhere. The short version is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. It’s a middle-ground feel: not the fastest possible in the wind, but not holding you back either.

Comfort fit - comfort-leaning without feeling sluggish. You get this posture because you get a moderate drop: roughly 41 mm from saddle to bar, plus about 573 mm of stretch forward (long). You'll likely be near 28 degrees of lean.

That is why it is classified Highly Adjustable. What drives the fit flexibility here: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical, Standard seatpost sizing improves compatibility for different setbacks and lengths. Plus, A dropper post adds practical adjustability while riding. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

This scores 6.1/10 for comfort, so it feels easygoing over rough patches out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

This bike is ready for gravel roads while staying efficient on paved stretches. Tire size details aren’t available here, so the label follows the overall setup and category cues. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
