E-Substance Aluminum E Fazua

When the riding is smooth, speed comes down to resistance and weight, and that's what this rating emphasizes. That's why it tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo. What pushes it in this direction is a heavier build, very wide tires that create extra drag, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

Uphill performance score: 5.1/10. Within e-road bikes, it sits around the middle. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 24.4 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~76% for low-gear climbing. “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. Weight is around 15.3 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. It won’t be the absolute best climber, but it won’t hold you back on most climbs either. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Coming in at 4.5/10 on aero, it’s aero-aware without going extreme and without demanding big compromises elsewhere. What that means on the road is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Different brands share different amounts of detail, so this uses the most consistent cues that are available. 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. It feels this way because bars are around 102 mm lower than the saddle, which is a large drop, and the forward stretch measures around 554 mm (long). Expect a lean angle around 39 degrees. Gravel geometry often balances comfort and control over rough surfaces.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier - The listed seatpost details do not show clear restrictions or extra flexibility signals. So we classify it as Adjustable.

Comfort comes out to 6.4/10, which usually translates to a easygoing over rough patches ride. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. It’s running about 47 mm tires on 650b wheels, and wider tires let you drop pressure a touch, which smooths out rough pavement on rough lanes and gravel patches. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~39°), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

You may be paying a premium here. 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’s about 25% above the typical level for similar builds. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 30% of listings). To anchor it: price €4.599 versus an estimated €3.690 for a similar build. Overall, it doesn’t look like the best value for the spec.

This bike is aimed at exploring off the main roads on tougher mixed terrain. Tire size details aren’t available here, so the label follows the overall setup and category cues. It’s listed as Gravel, but the setup aligns better with Adventure.
