Hi dodor84,
It is a cyclocross race bike, but very suitable for bike packing. By the additional weight for the bags of about 8 kg, it runs stable straight and accelerates downhill enormously, with adapted driving style, I could still drive challenging mountain bike trails. The brakes were just enough, despite about 100 kg total weight. Fading did not occur. Due to 42/42 I pushed on steep passages, but I was right to relieve the back of the backpack. My tour was 950 km long and 15,000 vertical meters.
