Velopedia analysis
What the specifications mean
The 510% cassette range describes the available gearing more clearly than the component-group name alone. Carbon construction changes the inspection emphasis from metal-style dents and corrosion to impact damage, ripples and overtightened clamp areas. 700C · 622 mm identifies the rim diameter, while tire width and available frame or fork clearance remain separate compatibility questions.
Gearing
510% cassette range
Calculated from the published 10–51-tooth sprocket span.
Frame material
Carbon / composite
Look for impact damage and clamp marks rather than metal-style dents or rust.
Wheel standard
700C · 622 mm
The label fixes rim diameter, not tire width or available frame and fork clearance.
Bottom bracket
Threaded interface
Shell width, thread standard and crank-spindle interface still require confirmation.
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 →- FrameInspect the frame in bright light, especially around the head tube, bottom bracket, chainstays and clamped areas. Look for cracks, ripples, crushed sections or signs of a previous impact.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 12-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 →
- Bottom bracketTurn the cranks slowly, feel for rough bearings and check for side-to-side play. Creaking under load deserves investigation but does not identify the source by itself.Inspect the bottom bracket and shell →

Geometry interpretation
What this geometry means
X-Small geometry
Riding position
A 375.2 mm reach and 540.5 mm stack give this size a middle-ground gravel proportion: neither especially stretched and low nor unusually upright. A 76° seat angle puts the rider relatively forward over the bottom bracket, shortening the effective seated reach compared with a more relaxed seat angle.
Handling tendencies
A 70.5° head angle combined with a 1012 mm wheelbase points to moderate and balanced 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. A 76 mm bottom-bracket drop places the rider relatively low between the wheels, which can add a settled cornering feel while reducing pedal clearance compared with a higher bottom bracket.
Archive context
The seat angle of 76° sits toward the steeper end. Its wheelbase of 1012 mm sits somewhat shorter than typical. The chainstay of 425 mm sits somewhat shorter than typical.
Small geometry
Riding position
The 387.7 mm reach and 549.9 mm stack create a relatively long, low gravel position, favoring a more performance-oriented posture over a distinctly upright one. A 75° seat angle puts the rider relatively forward over the bottom bracket, shortening the effective seated reach compared with a more relaxed seat angle.
Handling tendencies
A 70.5° head angle combined with a 1027.7 mm wheelbase points to moderate and balanced 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. A 76 mm bottom-bracket drop places the rider relatively low between the wheels, which can add a settled cornering feel while reducing pedal clearance compared with a higher bottom bracket.
Archive context
The seat angle of 75° sits toward the steeper end. Its reach of 387.7 mm sits somewhat longer than typical. The chainstay of 425 mm sits somewhat shorter than typical.
Medium geometry
Riding position

Handling tendencies
A 70.5° head angle combined with a 1108.7 mm wheelbase points to moderate and balanced 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. A 76 mm bottom-bracket drop places the rider relatively low between the wheels, which can add a settled cornering feel while reducing pedal clearance compared with a higher bottom bracket.
Archive context
Its reach of 435.3 mm sits toward the longer end. The seat angle of 74° sits toward the steeper end. The chainstay of 425 mm sits somewhat shorter than typical.
Across the size range
From X-Small to X-Large, reach grows by 60.1 mm and stack by 103.7 mm, showing how the frame becomes both longer and taller through the published size range. The rear center stays essentially constant at about 425 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.
