Jari 2.1

On the road, small changes in drag and tire resistance add up, and this score captures that effect. The setup that matters most here is 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. Those ingredients add up to a setup that either preserves speed or bleeds it off.

Climb score: 7.5/10. Within Road bikes, it sits above average. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 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. With roughly 10.7 kg to move uphill, you’ll feel it more as climbs get longer. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

Looking at it as a gravel setup, sitting at 4.7/10 for aero, with a fairly neutral fit, it sits in the ‘good enough everywhere’ aero zone so you get some benefit when the wind matters. Put simply, 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 versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. Because bars are around 93 mm lower than the saddle, which is a large drop, and the forward stretch measures around 541 mm (long). Estimated lean is about 38 degrees. Gravel geometry often balances comfort and control over rough surfaces. Estimated spacers: ~20 mm.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical. Another point: From the seatpost text provided, there are no strong constraints or bonuses. Overall, it falls into Adjustable. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Ride comfort is 5.4/10 — on a real ride it feels fairly neutral. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. It’s running about 37 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 ~38°), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

This sits in a nice value spot for its category. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 67% of listings. To anchor it: price €1.499 versus an estimated €1.553 for a similar build. Bottom line: it compares well against similar bikes.

This bike sits between a pure road bike and a gravel bike for mixed-surface riding. Tires around 37 mm are a good middle ground for varied surfaces. The wheel setup (700c) supports that direction.
