Gestalt 2

This road-speed measure focuses on efficient pace on asphalt, where drag and rolling resistance matter most. Several build choices play a role, including 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. On typical routes, it's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed.

Uphill performance score: 4.4/10. Within Road bikes, this comes out around the middle. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. The easiest gear works out to about 23.8 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~86% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. 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.

On the gravel side of things, sitting at 4.8/10 for aero, with more integrated details, it’s an all-round aero level without demanding big compromises elsewhere. The short version is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Its gravel label helps explain the balance between speed, comfort, and versatility. The wheels are on the shallower side (around 22mm), so frame shapes and position likely matter more than wheel depth here. This looks like a practical wheel choice rather than a max-aero choice. A tidier cockpit and cable routing can help a little once you’re riding quickly. 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.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. That's driven by there's about 86 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 543 mm of forward stretch to the bar (long). You'll likely be near 37 degrees of lean. Gravel setups typically avoid an extreme tuck for stability.

That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Main reasons for the fit flexibility result: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time; Because cables are routed internally, adjustments may take more work. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Ride comfort is 5.0/10 — on a real ride it feels fairly neutral. So it’s tagged Firm overall. It’s running about 35 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 ~37°), 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 36% 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 93% of listings. Quick reference: €1.599 listed versus about €2.509 for a comparable build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This bike sits between a pure road bike and a gravel bike for mixed-surface riding. The tire size is around 35 mm, which supports mixed routes without feeling slow on road. Even though it’s tagged Gravel, the spec pushes it toward All Road.
