E-Substance Carbon E Fazua

It's tuned to feel quick when you push the speed. On the road, small changes in drag and tire resistance add up, and this score captures that effect. The setup that matters most here is a heavier build, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, narrow road tires that keep resistance low, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Uphill performance score: 4.8/10. Within e-road bikes, it lands around the middle. You may find yourself pushing a bit more on steeper grades. The easiest gear works out to about 28.7 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~33% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. With about 13.7 kg to haul uphill, pacing matters more on longer grades. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. 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.

Looking at it as a gravel setup, sitting at 4.7/10 for aero, on a 25mm tyre setup, it lands in the ‘do-most-things-well’ aero zone so it feels versatile, not single-purpose. Put simply, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Its gravel label helps explain the balance between speed, comfort, and versatility. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. This tyre size generally plays nicely with aero goals compared with very wide all-road tyres. In practice, it’s a balanced setup: decent in the wind without demanding big compromises elsewhere.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. You get this posture because you get a large drop: roughly 90 mm from saddle to bar, plus about 539 mm of stretch forward (long). Plan for roughly 38 degrees of lean.

In E-bikeRoad, Main reasons for the fit flexibility result: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts. Another point: Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Overall, it falls into Adjustable.

This scores 2.7/10 for comfort, so it feels firm out on the road. That’s why it’s labeled Race-Stiff. It’s running about 25 mm tires on 700c wheels, and you feel more of the road texture with narrow tires on rough lanes and gravel patches. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10, torso ~38°), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

This feels like you’re paying extra for the same kind of bike. 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’s about 18% above the typical level for similar builds. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 37% of listings). To anchor it: price €5.399 versus an estimated €4.581 for a similar build. Overall, it doesn’t look like the best value for the spec.

This bike sits between a pure road bike and a gravel bike for mixed-surface riding. Tires around 25 mm are a good middle ground for varied surfaces. It’s listed as Gravel, but the setup aligns better with All Road.
