The compromises

• 8-speed drivetrain, fewer gears than the 11- and 12-speed groupsets on most city bikes.
• Mixed groupset: not every component is Shimano Tourney.
• Wheels not identified from the listing, so we scored them level with basic aluminium rather than guess.
• 17 kg, on the heavy side for a city bike; the ranking's reference weight is 16.2 kg.

What B.O.C. lists, and what it has today

Where to buy

Other shops list what looks like this bike, but we cannot confirm it is the same build, because the model year or drivetrain is not settled, so we do not compare their prices.

Price so far

• B.O.C. states an RRP of €749.99 (13% off). That is the shop's claim; we rank on today's price, never on the discount.
