GRIT 110

In a road context, the speed rating is about holding pace with less effort once you're up to speed. In contrast to speed-optimized builds, this build is shaped by wider mixed-surface tires that add some drag, aerodynamics that help it hold speed once you're rolling, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. That's why it prioritizes confidence and everyday riding over outright pace.

Uphill performance score: 3.9/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out below average. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 25.4 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~73% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. A good middle-ground if you want mixed routes that include some hills. 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.

In gravel terms, at 4.8/10 for aerodynamics, it sits in the ‘good enough everywhere’ aero zone 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. Wider tyres like this tend to trade a bit of aero efficiency for comfort and confidence. In practice, it’s a balanced setup: decent in the wind without demanding big compromises elsewhere.

Comfort fit - comfort-leaning without feeling sluggish. Gravel setups typically avoid an extreme tuck for stability. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

In Road, Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, Internal routing looks tidy but can make cockpit changes a bit more fiddly. Also, A 2-bolt clamp makes precise saddle setup easier. Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable.

This scores 6.0/10 for comfort, so it feels moderately comfortable out on the road. So it’s tagged Balanced overall. It’s running about 40 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), 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 31% 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 91% of listings. To anchor it: price €1.299 versus an estimated €1.877 for a similar build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This bike is comfortable on gravel roads and unpaved back roads, and it still rides well on tarmac. The tire size is around 40 mm, which gives grip and control on loose gravel. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
