Absolutely. With 32mm road tires mounted, an all-road bike performs nearly identically to an endurance road bike on paved group rides. The slight weight penalty is barely noticeable at typical group ride speeds, and the wider tires actually provide better grip and comfort. Many all-road bikes are perfectly capable of keeping up with fast club rides.
