This road-speed measure focuses on efficient pace on asphalt, where drag and rolling resistance matter most. What pushes it in this direction is 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. All combined, they influence momentum - how hard it is to get moving and how hard it is to keep moving.

Climb score: 2.6/10. Within Road bikes, it sits below average. The low gear is workable, but not super easy on steep ramps. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 28.7 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~40% 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. A good middle-ground if you want mixed routes that include some hills. 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.

Given a fairly neutral posture, aero-wise, at 4.8/10, it’s an all-round aero level so you get some benefit when the wind matters. The short version is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The wheels are on the shallower side (around 25mm), so frame shapes and position likely matter more than wheel depth here. These wheels lean more toward stability and versatility than pure aero. Tyres around 35mm are a practical middle ground, with a small aero trade-off compared with narrower race tyres. That typically means solid everyday speed without forcing an aggressive position or race-only parts.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. This is mainly because bar height comes out ~86 mm below the saddle (large), with about 543 mm of forward reach - a long stretch. You'll likely be near 37 degrees of lean.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical; Hidden cables usually add a little friction when you swap bars or stems. So we classify it as Adjustable. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Comfort comes out to 5.0/10, which usually translates to a balanced ride. That’s why it’s labeled Firm. 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.

Compared to similar bikes, this is priced very competitively. 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 44% 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 96% of listings. To anchor it: price €999 versus an estimated €1.789 for a similar 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. Tires around 35 mm are a good middle ground for varied surfaces. It’s listed as Gravel, but the setup aligns better with All Road.
