SBT 300 L

When the riding is smooth, speed comes down to resistance and weight, and that's what this rating emphasizes. Against more utility-focused bikes, this build is shaped by very wide tires that create extra drag, a capable drivetrain that supports steady speed, and a more tucked riding position that cuts wind resistance. Put simply, it's more about stability and usefulness than feeling fast.

On steep roads, it comes in at 3.3/10. Within e-road bikes, it sits below average. For hill work, the easiest gear is moderate. The easiest gear works out to about 27.0 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~54% 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. 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. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

In touring terms, an aero score of 3.6/10 means that running tyres around 47mm, it’s not chasing marginal aero gains so it’ll feel calm and steady rather than ‘free speed’ fast. In everyday language, it’s more about stability and everyday comfort than cutting through the wind. Different categories trade aerodynamics against comfort and stability—touring is part of that story. Tyres around 47mm are clearly aimed at comfort and control, and that usually adds some drag in the wind. That typically translates to easy, confidence-inspiring riding rather than chasing speed in the wind.

Comfort fit - comfort-leaning without feeling sluggish. You get this posture because handlebar height is roughly 0 mm lower than the saddle (very small drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 572 mm (long). You'll likely be near 20 degrees of lean.

In E-bikeRoad / Touring, This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability. Plus, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. Net result: Adjustable. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Comfort comes out to 6.8/10, which usually translates to a comfortable ride. That’s why it’s labeled Comfortable. It’s running about 47 mm tires on 700c wheels, and wider tires let you drop pressure a touch, which smooths out rough pavement on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is upright (posture 4/10), which takes pressure off your hands and back, which usually feels more relaxed.

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 parts list, it’s roughly 28% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 84% of listings. To anchor it: price €2.939 versus an estimated €4.095 for a similar build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This is a road bike that stays comfortable when the pavement gets rough. The tire size is unknown in this entry, so the surface range is based on the clearest available signals. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
