Performance breakdown
Frame Durability
SuperLite aluminum construction handles rough gravel abuse with impressive resilience.
Long-Distance Comfort
Geometry and gel saddle prioritize rider comfort on extended, all-day adventures.
Stopping Power
Mechanical discs provide consistent, predictable braking, though lack hydraulic bite.
Drivetrain Versatility
Shimano Claris offers reliable shifting but lacks the range for steep climbs.
Terrain Adaptability
Tubeless-ready wheels and stable geometry excel on mixed-surface riding.
Weight Efficiency
At 11.3kg, it feels sturdy rather than nimble on steep ascents.
