If you look at their whole bikes list they categorize as 1 of their 2 Touring bikes,
difference around handlebar choice. why question the fact?
though as set up they think Brevet /Audax events are their customers rides, faster, carry less.
Paris to the end of Brittany and back, within time limit. that sort of Tour. [or commute]
Touring is an act of doing, if it fits well, and you can get back on it and ride another day,
for weeks, and carry some stuff.. it's a a tourer.
are you in Italy, where you can Buy those ? and test ride it first?
