ALLROAD A2

On asphalt, it's mainly a question of resistance and efficiency, and that's what the score summarizes. When you push the pace, it's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. Most of the story comes from wider mixed-surface tires that add some drag, aerodynamics that help it hold speed once you're rolling, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

How it climbs: 3.8/10. Within Road bikes, it lands below average. The easiest gear leans spin-friendly when it tilts up. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 25.5 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~72% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. A good middle-ground if you want mixed routes that include some hills. 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.

As a general road bike, at 5.6/10 for aerodynamics, running tyres around 40mm, it aims for usable speed without big trade-offs so it feels versatile, not single-purpose. In everyday language, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Its general road 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. That tyre width leans toward grip and stability first, with a small aero penalty at speed. 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. That's driven by there's about 92 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 557 mm of forward stretch to the bar (long). Expect a lean angle around 38 degrees.

Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical. Also, Standard sizing usually means more aftermarket options for dialing in fit. Overall, it is in the Highly Adjustable bucket. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

This scores 6.4/10 for comfort, so it feels easygoing over rough patches out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. It’s running about 40 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 neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~38°), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

This setup works well when your ride switches between tarmac and easy unpaved sections. The tire size is around 40 mm, which supports mixed routes without feeling slow on road. Even though it’s tagged General Road, the spec pushes it toward All Road.
