Tabor

It's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. For road riding, the score leans toward outright pace rather than comfort-first priorities. Most of the story comes from 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.

Climbing rating: 5.1/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks around the middle. You may find yourself pushing a bit more on steeper grades. That lowest gear comes out 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. With about 11.6 kg to haul uphill, pacing matters more on longer grades. It can climb, but you’ll likely prefer smoother pacing on longer 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.

Category-wise (gravel), on 40mm-ish tyres, with a 5.0/10 aero score, it’s an all-round aero level and it doesn’t force a specialist aero posture. In everyday language, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. The gravel category also hints at the intent behind the design. Tyres around 40mm are clearly aimed at comfort and control, and that usually adds some drag in the wind. A tidier cockpit and cable routing can help a little once you’re riding quickly. It’s a middle-ground feel: not the fastest possible in the wind, but not holding you back either.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. You get this posture because the bar sits about 87 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 571 mm in total (long). Expect a lean angle around 36 degrees. Gravel geometry often balances comfort and control over rough surfaces.

Overall, it is in the Highly Adjustable bucket. 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. Another point: A standard round seatpost size gives you many options for fit and replacements. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Ride comfort is 6.0/10 — on a real ride it feels moderately comfortable. That’s the reason it lands as 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 6/10, torso ~36°), 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 34% 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 92% of listings. Quick reference: €1.259 listed versus about €1.895 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. Tire size details aren’t available here, so the label follows the overall setup and category cues. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
