What the specifications mean
The 418% cassette range describes the available gearing more clearly than the component-group name alone. On the alloy frame, dents and hairline cracks around welds, pivots and heavily loaded junctions matter more than cosmetic scratches. 700C · 622 mm identifies the rim diameter, while tire width and available frame or fork clearance remain separate compatibility questions.
Gearing
418% cassette range
Calculated from the published 11–46-tooth sprocket span.
Frame material
Aluminum / alloy
Dents and cracking around welds, pivots and loaded junctions deserve attention.
Wheel standard
700C · 622 mm
The label fixes rim diameter, not tire width or available frame and fork clearance.
Published weight
25lbs (MD, with pedals)
Frame size, pedals, tire setup and production substitutions can change the measured result.
Used-bike inspection
If you’re buying this bike used
Before any test ride: both brakes should stop the bike firmly and release cleanly; both wheels should run true and be securely attached; tires should have no casing damage; and the headset, handlebar, stem, cranks and pedals should have no looseness or play.
Follow the full used-bike inspection order →- FrameLook closely for dents and hairline cracks around welds, the head tube and bottom-bracket area. Cosmetic scratches matter less than a change in shape or a crack line.Inspect the frame and fork →
- BrakesTest each brake separately and confirm it stops firmly and releases cleanly. Inspect the pads and braking surfaces for wear or contamination, and check the cables or hoses for damage.Inspect the brakes →
- DrivetrainShift through every gear under light load and measure chain wear. Confirm that the shifter, derailleur, chain and cassette belong to the same 11-speed system.Check drivetrain wear →
- Wheels & tiresSpin both wheels and watch the rims for side-to-side or vertical movement. Check for dents, cracks, loose or uneven spokes and hub play, then inspect both tire casings for cuts, cracking or exposed threads.Check wheels and tires →

Geometry interpretation
What this geometry means
X-Small geometry
Riding position
The 393 mm reach and 514 mm stack create a relatively long, low gravel position, favoring a more performance-oriented posture over a distinctly upright one.
Handling tendencies
A 69.5° head angle combined with a 1047 mm wheelbase points to calm and stability-oriented steering and chassis behavior. The longer the chassis and slacker the front end, the more the bike tends to favor composure over very quick direction changes. The 440 mm chainstay is on the longer side for a drop-bar chassis, generally favoring stability and tire/heel clearance over an especially compact rear end.
Archive context
Its reach of 393 mm sits toward the longer end. Its stack of 514 mm sits toward the lower end. The seat angle of 73° sits toward the more relaxed end.
Small geometry
Riding position
The 404 mm reach and 542 mm stack create a relatively long, low gravel position, favoring a more performance-oriented posture over a distinctly upright one.
Handling tendencies
A 69.5° head angle combined with a 1069 mm wheelbase points to calm and stability-oriented steering and chassis behavior. The longer the chassis and slacker the front end, the more the bike tends to favor composure over very quick direction changes. The 440 mm chainstay is on the longer side for a drop-bar chassis, generally favoring stability and tire/heel clearance over an especially compact rear end.
Archive context
Its reach of 404 mm sits toward the longer end. Its stack of 542 mm sits toward the lower end. The seat angle of 73° sits toward the more relaxed end.
Medium geometry
Riding position
The 423 mm reach and 580 mm stack create a relatively long, low gravel position, favoring a more performance-oriented posture over a distinctly upright one.
Handling tendencies
A 69.5° head angle combined with a 1101 mm wheelbase points to calm and stability-oriented steering and chassis behavior. The longer the chassis and slacker the front end, the more the bike tends to favor composure over very quick direction changes. The 440 mm chainstay is on the longer side for a drop-bar chassis, generally favoring stability and tire/heel clearance over an especially compact rear end.
Archive context
Its reach of 423 mm sits toward the longer end. Its wheelbase of 1101 mm sits toward the longer end. The seat angle of 73° sits toward the more relaxed end.
Large geometry
Riding position
The 436 mm reach and 617 mm stack create a relatively long, low gravel position, favoring a more performance-oriented posture over a distinctly upright one.
Handling tendencies
A 69.5° head angle combined with a 1129 mm wheelbase points to calm and stability-oriented steering and chassis behavior. The longer the chassis and slacker the front end, the more the bike tends to favor composure over very quick direction changes. The 440 mm chainstay is on the longer side for a drop-bar chassis, generally favoring stability and tire/heel clearance over an especially compact rear end.
Archive context
Its wheelbase of 1129 mm sits toward the longer end. Its reach of 436 mm sits toward the longer end. The head angle of 69.5° sits somewhat slacker than typical.
X-Large geometry
Riding position
A 450 mm reach and 655 mm stack give this size a middle-ground gravel proportion: neither especially stretched and low nor unusually upright.
Handling tendencies
A 69.5° head angle combined with a 1156 mm wheelbase points to calm and stability-oriented steering and chassis behavior. The longer the chassis and slacker the front end, the more the bike tends to favor composure over very quick direction changes. The 440 mm chainstay is on the longer side for a drop-bar chassis, generally favoring stability and tire/heel clearance over an especially compact rear end.
Archive context
Its wheelbase of 1156 mm sits toward the longer end. Its reach of 450 mm sits toward the longer end. Its stack of 655 mm sits somewhat taller than typical.
Across the size range
From X-Small to X-Large, reach grows by 57 mm and stack by 141 mm, showing how the frame becomes both longer and taller through the published size range. The rear center stays essentially constant at about 440 mm across sizes, so most of the wheelbase growth happens in the front half of the bike rather than by lengthening the rear triangle.
Geometry describes frame proportions and likely tendencies, not a ride test. Rider proportions, cockpit setup, tires, suspension settings, wheel configuration, and component choices can materially change how a bicycle fits and feels.
