It lacks top end speed because I'm limited to how large of chain ring will fit on the front. Some gravel bikes will come as 2 x 10 (46/30T) or 1 x 11 (40T).
This bike is a 1 x 11 but currently will not fit a 40T chainring because it would hit the chainstay. It's maxed out at a 32T right now.
That's ok. I'm not really doing any gravel racing with this bike. Just for my own personal off-road gravel pleasure riding.
