The Rose Backroad (here in the TOUR test) in its 13 variants is one of the best-selling gravel bikes. The Rose gravel bike should also be suitable for bikepacking tours: A total of three bottle cages can be attached to the frame. There is also a holder on the bottom bracket that can be used for a mini toolbox, and there are attachment points for a bag on the top tube. There are also two mounts for additional luggage on the backroad fork.

The Reveal Plus 105 e-road bike (here in the TOUR test) from Rose is based on the best-selling marathon bike of the same name, the Reveal. The riding position on the electrically assisted version is somewhat sportier than on the very upright Marathon model. In addition, there are only five instead of seven frame sizes, which are significantly coarser. The bike is powered by a Mahle X20 rear hub motor with a maximum of 250 watts of assistance and a battery capacity of 250 watt hours. The less expensive of the two available equipment variants includes a Shimano 115-speed mechanical groupset with robust aluminium wheels - an inexpensive, reliable and durable set-up.

We already had the Rose Reveal AL with Ultegra equipment mid 2023 in the test. One of the bike's convincing features was its impeccably finished frame with polished weld seams.

For Black Friday 2024, the Reveal AL with electronic Shimano 105 is available at a reduced price.

A mixture of performance and comfort. And - as the name suggests - ideal for long distances and everyday cycling, according to the manufacturer.

Textiles get caught on the Velcro fasteners when packing.

Our price-performance tip from our big cycling shorts test. The thin, firm padding of the trousers from a cooperation with the specialists at SQlab remains pressure-resistant even on the longest rides, but requires hard sit bones. The fabric is elasticated. The seamless straps are sufficiently tight and keep the trousers secure.
