Where it stands
Priced close to what German shops charge for this level of equipment, so it does not clear the margin we require before naming a pick.

The compromises
- 8-speed drivetrain, fewer gears than the 11- and 12-speed groupsets on most gravel bikes.
- Wheels not identified from the listing, so we scored them level with basic aluminium rather than guess.
- Mechanical (cable) disc brakes rather than hydraulic.
- 2024 model year.
