In general, I would use this bike for dry one day rides and shorter audaxes. I’d estimate that over those sort of distances, it would be faster than my Fairlight Cycles Strael 2.0. However, the absence of luggage mounting points and dynamo lights, as well as a maximum weight limit, mean that it’s not as well suited to multi-day events if carrying gear. Since mudguards cannot be fitted, I tend to avoid using the bike in wet weather if I can help it.
