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.
• 16.8 kg, on the heavy side for a city bike; the ranking's reference weight is 16.2 kg.
