How do you see this bike for bikepacking? I plan to do a 400 Kms route in a week, mostly tarmac but gravel too. I don’t like the flatbar but I think this bike is way more tour-suitable than my road bike. It is aluminium framed. What’s your guess?

Have fun! I’ve found that ergonomic shape grips strongly improve the feel of flat bars for cheap!
I put some bar ends on the inner side of the grips. That way I can emulate the „hoods“ position of a drop bar somewhat effectively. The bike itself can do what you want. I wouldn’t ride too harsh terrains with it though.
It’ll be fine or it won’t! Ride it and find out!
