ALLROAD C2

It trades speed for comfort, durability, or practicality. For road bikes, this score reflects how easily the bike carries speed on smooth tarmac. The strongest influences are 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.

Climb score: 4.6/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out around the middle. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. The easiest gear works out to about 23.2 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~92% for low-gear climbing. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

In general road terms, sitting at 5.5/10 for aero, it lands in the ‘do-most-things-well’ aero zone so it sits comfortably in the all-rounder lane. In everyday language, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Tyres around 40mm are clearly aimed at comfort and control, and that usually adds some drag in the wind. 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. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability. Also, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket.

Comfort comes out to 6.4/10, which usually translates to a nicely smooth ride. 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. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
