ROSE BACKROAD AL+ first ride review – Electric assistance on a budget?

Jul 2023 · Martin Staffa

Another e-gravel bike from ROSE? Yes, but this one is made of aluminium and relies on a hub motor! The ROSE BACKROAD AL+ set a benchmark in terms of price, but where else?

Highs
  • Affordable e-gravel bike considering the components

  • Composed and beginner-friendly handling with a relaxed riding position

  • Can also be ridden with the motor switched off

Lows
  • Only two build variants to choose from

  • Not available in a more discreet colour
