“For speed junkies”: MISSION 7000 rated “Very Good” with “excellent riding performance” in the latest RadFahren test

Our newly launched MISSION was put through its paces in the latest issue of Germany’s RadFahren magazine (02/2026) and was awarded with an impressive “Very Good” rating (1.5).

The “racing genes” of our race gravel bike are “impossible to overlook”. “From the very first pedal stroke”, the “MISSION, with its sporty cockpit, wants to charge forward”. Furthermore, the bike stands for “outstanding agility” and features “modern frame construction with numerous attachment points” as well as a storage compartment recessed into the down tube.

“Shimano’s GRX Di2 components with the Synchro-Shift option perfectly suit this gravel speedster.” Furthermore, the race gravel bike is equipped with a lightweight, fast rolling carbon wheelset from Reynolds. With “spinning legs”, the tester was able to “easily maintain speed on the carbon beauty”. Furthermore, the MISSION demonstrated first-class climbing performance in the test and “flew up the hill”. But the bike also impressed on the descents: “On winding descents, the lively gravel bike cuts a fine figure and takes hairpin bends with precision – allowing you to step it up a notch in cornering speed. Next lap!”

What the testers particularly praised:

• Weight
• Handling
• Frame design with a storage compartment
• Carbon cockpit
• Multitool under the saddle

Editor’s verdict:
“Pure speed with superb handling: riding slowly is simply not an option with the MISSION 7000. For speed junkies.”
