Help Gravel LS46

This road speed rating is tuned for paved riding - think steady fast tempo and easier acceleration. That's why it's set up to reward hard efforts with higher cruising speed. It trends this way because of all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value, and a more tucked riding position that cuts...

Climbing rating: 6.0/10. Within e-road bikes, it lands around the middle. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 19.3 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~94% versus similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. 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 gravel bike, at 4.5/10 for aerodynamics, it balances some streamlining with versatility so it’s more efficient than it looks once you’re rolling. What that means on the road is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The gravel category also hints at the intent behind the design. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. That typically means solid everyday speed without forcing an aggressive position or race-only parts.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. This is mainly because you get a moderate drop: roughly 52 mm from saddle to bar, plus about 551 mm of stretch forward (long). Plan for roughly 30 degrees of lean.

Overall, it falls into Adjustable. What drives the fit flexibility here: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, and Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability.

Ride comfort is 5.9/10 — on a real ride it feels moderately comfortable. That’s why it’s labeled Balanced. The posture is upright (posture 4/10), which makes long rides feel easier on the body.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. 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 spec estimate, it comes in about 15% under the typical level for similar builds. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 85% of listings. Quick reference: €4.238 listed versus about €4.980 for a comparable build. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This setup is built for mixed rides where gravel is a normal part of the route. 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.
