Where it stands

Priced below the market rate for its equipment, but in stock in no size at any shop that sells it. That is why it is not our pick in its price range.

The compromises

• 8-speed drivetrain, fewer gears than the 11- and 12-speed groupsets on most city bikes.
• Wheels not identified from the listing, so we scored them level with basic aluminium rather than guess.
• Rim brakes rather than disc brakes.
• 2020 model year.

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 €699 (28% off). That is the shop's claim; we rank on today's price, never on the discount.
