Do not only look at the highest gear ratio but keep your attention on the lowest aswell.
We do not know your fitness level ... so it might be a good idea to ellaborate on that subject a bit

The rapid 1 has a lowest gear of 34/25 since it has a compact crank with only two chainwheels.
34/25 ... that is pretty high for a lowest gear depending on your riding terrain and your athletic condition.
What you could do is to find a bike with that same gear ratio and try to use that gear to climb the talest hill in your area ... only then can you know if that gear is low enough for you.
I have about the same lowest gear (30/23) on my racewheelset and I like it ... but for going offroad once in a while you definately want the option of lower gears.
