BROAM 60 EQ

It tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo. When the riding is smooth, speed comes down to resistance and weight, and that's what this rating emphasizes. The score is largely shaped by a heavier build, an aero-leaning setup that reduces drag at higher speeds, wider mixed-surface tires that add some drag, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

Climb score: 5.5/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out around the middle. For hill work, the easiest gear is moderate. The easiest gear works out to about 27.0 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~58% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. At about 11.3 kg, it’s in a normal range, so gearing matters more than weight swings here. It can climb, but you’ll likely prefer smoother pacing on longer hills. 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 gravel setup, aero-wise, at 4.5/10, it keeps decent wind efficiency without becoming a specialist without demanding big compromises elsewhere. What that means on the road is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. That tyre width leans toward grip and stability first, with a small aero penalty at speed. Different brands share different amounts of detail, so this uses the most consistent cues that are available. In practice, it’s a balanced setup: decent in the wind without demanding big compromises elsewhere.

Comfort fit - less tuck and easier on neck and shoulders. That's driven by bar height comes out ~61 mm below the saddle (moderate), with about 552 mm of forward reach - a long stretch. Estimated lean is about 32 degrees.

Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical - Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket.

Comfort comes out to 5.9/10, which usually translates to a moderately comfortable ride. So it’s tagged Balanced overall. 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 5/10, torso ~32°), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

This doesn’t look like the best deal once you compare it to similar builds. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the spec estimate, it’s about 15% above the typical level for similar builds. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 50% of listings). To anchor it: price €1.574 versus an estimated €1.368 for a similar build. Put simply: it’s a bit pricey for what you get.

This setup is built for mixed rides where gravel is a normal part of the route. Tires around 40 mm are well suited for gravel roads and unpaved connectors. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
