HULK 6.0 Carbon Gravel Bike 22S

For road bikes, the speed score favors setups that waste less energy at higher speeds. In real riding, it's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed. What pushes it in this direction is a fairly average weight, a lighter-feeling mass profile that helps on accelerations and tempo climbs, wider mixed-surface tires that add some drag, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Uphill performance score: 5.6/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks around the middle. The easiest gear is on the tall side for proper hills. Your easiest gear lands around 28.9 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~38% for low-gear climbing. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. At about 9.7 kg, it’s in a normal range, so gearing matters more than weight swings here. It won’t be the absolute best climber, but it won’t hold you back on most climbs either. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

On the gravel side of things, with a 4.5/10 aero score, on 40mm-ish tyres, it sits in the ‘good enough everywhere’ aero zone so it feels ‘quick enough’ without being a pure aero build. The short version is: it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The gravel tag is a useful clue for how wind efficiency ranks among the priorities. Wider tyres like this tend to trade a bit of aero efficiency for comfort and confidence. Specs can vary by market and model year, so the summary follows the strongest published signals. In practice, it’s a balanced setup: decent in the wind without demanding big compromises elsewhere.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. Some measurements were missing, so part of this is estimated.

Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical; Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Net result: Adjustable.

Ride comfort is 6.0/10 — on a real ride it feels balanced. That’s why it’s labeled Balanced. It’s running about 40 mm tires on 700c wheels, and extra tire volume helps mute vibration and small bumps 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. 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 33% 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: €1.999 listed versus about €3.005 for a comparable build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This setup is built for mixed rides where gravel is a normal part of the route. The tire size is around 40 mm, which gives grip and control on loose gravel. The wheel setup (700c) supports that direction.
