Touring

It prioritizes confidence and everyday riding over outright pace. 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, all-round road tires that balance speed and comfort, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

If your rides include hills, it rates 4.9/10 for climbing. Within Road bikes, this comes out around the middle. It has a middle-of-the-road low gear for climbing. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 28.6 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~47% 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 13.1 kg to haul uphill, pacing matters more on longer grades. It can climb, but you’ll likely prefer smoother pacing on longer 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.

Sitting at 4.2/10 for aero, it’s more practical than wind-optimized with comfort and composure as the trade-off. What that means on the road is: it’s more about stability and everyday comfort than cutting through the wind. That typically translates to easy, confidence-inspiring riding rather than chasing speed in the wind. Small setup choices (wheels, tyres, cockpit) can shift how aero it feels on the road. Specs can vary by market and model year, so the summary follows the strongest published signals.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. That's driven by handlebar height is roughly 77 mm lower than the saddle (moderate drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 545 mm (long). Estimated lean is about 35 degrees.

In Road / Touring, So we classify it as Adjustable. Fit flexibility summary: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time - Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical.

Comfort comes out to 5.0/10, which usually translates to a balanced ride. So it’s tagged Balanced overall. It’s running about 32 mm tires on 700c wheels, and it softens the edges a little, without feeling plush on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10, torso ~35°), which balances comfort and responsiveness pretty well.

From a value angle, this comes out as a standout deal. 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 39% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 56% of listings). To anchor it: price €944 versus an estimated €1.559 for a similar build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This setup is made for real-world roads with cracks and patches. The tire size is around 32 mm, which helps smooth out rough pavement. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
