ALLROAD C1

For road-style bikes, the score is a proxy for how fast the build feels on normal pavement. What pushes it in this direction is wider mixed-surface tires that add some drag and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. In practice, it's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. A few specs aren't listed, so the estimate uses reasonable baseline assumptions.

Climbing rating: 4.9/10. Within Road bikes, it lands around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 21.8 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~94% versus similar bikes. “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. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. 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 general road setup, sitting at 5.5/10 for aero, it keeps decent wind efficiency without becoming a specialist so it’s more efficient than it looks once you’re rolling. In everyday language, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The wheels are on the shallower side (around 28mm), so frame shapes and position likely matter more than wheel depth here. That wheel depth is more all-round than purely aero-focused. Wider tyres like this tend to trade a bit of aero efficiency for comfort and confidence. 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. Some measurements were missing, so part of this is estimated.

Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward. Another point: A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket.

This scores 6.4/10 for comfort, so it feels nicely smooth out on the road. That’s why it’s labeled 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), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

This bike is made for mixed routes: pavement plus smooth dirt or hardpack. The tire size is around 40 mm, which supports mixed routes without feeling slow on road. It’s listed as General Road, but the setup aligns better with All Road.
