BEYOND+

When the riding is smooth, speed comes down to resistance and weight, and that's what this rating emphasizes. The setup that matters most here is a heavier build, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

Climbing rating: 9.6/10. Within Road bikes, it lands near the top. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. That lowest gear comes out around 16.2 gear inches. For the low gear, it’s right at the easy end — easier than about ~100% of similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Weight is around 14.4 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. 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.

Looking at it as a gravel setup, rated 4.7/10 for aero, it’s a practical middle ground without demanding big compromises elsewhere. The short version is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The fit looks fairly neutral, so aerodynamics depends more on the overall design and components than on an extreme position. It’s a middle-ground feel: not the fastest possible in the wind, but not holding you back either.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. Because the bar sits about 31 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 594 mm in total (very long). Estimated lean is about 26 degrees. Gravel geometry often balances comfort and control over rough surfaces.

What affects adjustability on this bike: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability, and A standard round seatpost size gives you many options for fit and replacements. That is why it is classified Highly Adjustable.

Comfort comes out to 5.3/10, which usually translates to a balanced ride. That’s why it’s labeled Balanced. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

This bike is built for longer mixed-terrain days and rougher unpaved riding. The tire size is unknown in this entry, so the surface range is based on the clearest available signals. It’s listed as Gravel, but the setup aligns better with Adventure.
