Jari 2.5

This road-speed measure focuses on efficient pace on asphalt, where drag and rolling resistance matter most. Relative to performance-oriented builds, this build is 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.

How it climbs: 6.2/10. Within Road bikes, it sits around the middle. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. 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. Weight is around 12.2 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. 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.

Category-wise (gravel), scoring 4.7/10 on aero, with a fairly neutral fit, it balances some streamlining with versatility so it’s more efficient than it looks once you’re rolling. The short version is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Different categories trade aerodynamics against comfort and stability—gravel is part of that story. Tyres around 37mm are a practical middle ground, with a small aero trade-off compared with narrower race tyres. 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. You get this posture because bars are around 93 mm lower than the saddle, which is a large drop, and the forward stretch measures around 541 mm (long). Plan for roughly 38 degrees of lean.

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. Also, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. Overall, it falls into Adjustable.

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 wider tires let you drop pressure a touch, which smooths out rough pavement on rough lanes and gravel patches. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10, torso ~38°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. 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). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 27% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 89% of listings. Quick reference: €999 listed versus about €1.368 for a comparable build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This bike sits between a pure road bike and a gravel bike for mixed-surface riding. The tire size is around 37 mm, which supports mixed routes without feeling slow on road. Even though it’s tagged Gravel, the spec pushes it toward All Road.
