Drössiger Cross Diamant 2

When the riding is smooth, speed comes down to resistance and weight, and that's what this rating emphasizes. When stacked up next to faster-rolling setups, this build is shaped by very wide tires that create extra drag and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. Put simply, it trades speed for comfort, durability, or practicality.

Overall on climbs: 3.3/10. Within Road bikes, it sits below average. On climbs, the lowest gear feels moderate. The easiest gear works out to about 27.0 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~58% 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. A good middle-ground if you want mixed routes that include some hills. 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.

Seen as a cyclocross option, with ~47mm tyres, aero-wise, at 5.0/10, it sits in the ‘good enough everywhere’ aero zone so it feels versatile, not single-purpose. In everyday language, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Wider tyres like this tend to trade a bit of aero efficiency for comfort and confidence. Not every brand publishes the same detail, so this leans on the clearest available specs. That typically means solid everyday speed without forcing an aggressive position or race-only parts.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. You get this posture because bars are around 84 mm lower than the saddle, which is a large drop, and the forward stretch measures around 574 mm (long). Plan for roughly 36 degrees of lean.

What drives the fit flexibility here: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. At the same time, Seatpost info looks fairly neutral, so most fit change comes from cockpit choices. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Ride comfort is 6.6/10 — on a real ride it feels nicely smooth. That’s why it’s labeled Balanced. It’s running about 47 mm tires on 700c wheels, and extra tire volume helps mute vibration and small bumps on rough lanes and gravel patches. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~36°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

This looks like a great buy for the spec on paper. 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 parts list, it’s roughly 51% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 97% of listings. To anchor it: price €1.164 versus an estimated €2.382 for a similar build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

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. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
