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.
• 12.47 kg, on the heavy side for a gravel bike; the ranking's reference weight is 10.4 kg.

What Zweirad Stadler 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

• Zweirad Stadler states an RRP of €1,299 (24% off). That is the shop's claim; we rank on today's price, never on the discount.
