When the riding is smooth, speed comes down to resistance and weight, and that's what this rating emphasizes. As a result, it tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo. Key drivers include very wide tires that create extra drag and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. This tends to matter most on flats and gentle climbs, where rolling resistance and weight dominate.

On steep roads, it comes in at 4.1/10. Within e-road bikes, it sits around the middle. The easiest gear leans spin-friendly when it tilts up. Your easiest gear lands around 24.4 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~76% of them. “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. 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.

In gravel terms, rated 4.7/10 for aero, it’s tuned for mixed riding rather than pure aero focus so it works well across lots of riding. Put simply, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. A more integrated front end usually reduces minor drag points around the cockpit. Not every brand publishes the same detail, so this leans on the clearest available specs. In practice, it’s a balanced setup: decent in the wind without demanding big compromises elsewhere.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. This is mainly because the cockpit sits 82 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~559 mm (long). Plan for roughly 36 degrees of lean.

Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. Plus, Having a dropper increases how adaptable the bike feels in different situations. Net result: Highly Adjustable. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

This scores 5.5/10 for comfort, so it feels fairly neutral out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10, torso ~36°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

Compared to similar bikes, this is priced very competitively. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the spec estimate, it comes in about 23% under the typical level for similar builds. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 90% of listings. Quick reference: €4.499 listed versus about €5.821 for a comparable build. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This setup leans toward stability and comfort when surfaces get unpredictable. The tire size is around 47 mm, which supports comfort and control on rougher ground. Even though it’s tagged Gravel, the spec pushes it toward Adventure.
