I think it is comparable to the Strada in speed and comfort. I'm not the most sensitive in terms of latter but my times were similar. I haven't ridden the SL8 and TCR to be able to comment but compared to my 'gravel bikes' (Genesis Datum, Aluminium Vitus/Carbon Forks) both the Strada and the Falath Evo are more comfortable! I think the skinny rear stays on the Strada are known to improve comfort. For the Falath it's not skinny but equally the wheelbase isn't that tight and maybe the carbon lay-up (I ride Power Cup 25F, 28R) and they are comfortable enough.
