Granite 2.0 Gravel Bike

On paved roads, the rating is mostly about fast cruising and how the setup supports higher speeds. In day-to-day use, it tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo. A few practical factors stand out: 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.

Overall on climbs: 5.1/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks around the middle. It has a middle-of-the-road low gear for climbing. The easiest gear works out to about 28.7 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~40% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. With about 11.7 kg to haul uphill, pacing matters more on longer grades. It can climb, but you’ll likely prefer smoother pacing on longer hills. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Category-wise (gravel), coming in at 4.7/10 on aero, it sits in the ‘good enough everywhere’ aero zone without demanding big compromises elsewhere. Put simply, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Tyres around 37mm are a practical middle ground, with a small aero trade-off compared with narrower race tyres. Different brands share different amounts of detail, so this uses the most consistent cues that are available. That typically means solid everyday speed without forcing an aggressive position or race-only parts.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. Gravel geometry often balances comfort and control over rough surfaces. Based on full geometry data.

In Road / Gravel, That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Fit flexibility summary: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts - Fine tilt adjustments are simpler with micro-adjust style clamps. 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 moderately comfortable. 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), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 45% 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 97% of listings. To anchor it: price €706 versus an estimated €1.294 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 37 mm are a good middle ground for varied surfaces. Even though it’s tagged Gravel, the spec pushes it toward All Road.
