Super Gravel RC

This road speed rating is tuned for paved riding - think steady fast tempo and easier acceleration. A few practical factors stand out: wider mixed-surface tires that add some drag, aerodynamics that help it hold speed once you're rolling, and a basic drivetrain spec that prioritizes practicality over outright performance. Net effect: the bike either carries speed well or feels like more work to keep it rolling.

Uphill performance score: 4.4/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out around the middle. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. That lowest gear comes out around 23.8 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~86% 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. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. 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.

As a gravel bike, with a 4.5/10 aero score, it’s aero-aware without going extreme so you get some benefit when the wind matters. In everyday language, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The gravel tag is a useful clue for how wind efficiency ranks among the priorities. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. Tyres around 40mm are clearly aimed at comfort and control, and that usually adds some drag in the wind. It’s a middle-ground feel: not the fastest possible in the wind, but not holding you back either.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. You get this posture because the bar sits about 90 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 550 mm in total (long). Plan for roughly 37 degrees of lean. Gravel geometry often balances comfort and control over rough surfaces.

Net result: Adjustable. What affects adjustability on this bike: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time. At the same time, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical.

Comfort comes out to 6.0/10, which usually translates to a fairly neutral ride. That’s why it’s labeled Balanced. It’s running about 40 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 ~37°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

This bike is comfortable on gravel roads and unpaved back roads, and it still rides well on tarmac. Tires around 40 mm are well suited for gravel roads and unpaved connectors. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
