EXTENDED 2.0

In mountain-bike land, this is a pedaling-speed measure - how fast it rolls when you're working for it. Pedal assist doesn't erase physics; tire drag and weight still influence pace, and this score reflects that. Several build choices play a role, including relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, larger wheels that help the bike keep momentum, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

Overall on climbs: 3.3/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it lands below average. The lowest gear is very tall when the road tilts up. That lowest gear comes out around 27.0 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~8% versus similar bikes. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Suspension handling is rated 4/10. It matches “Basic bump control”. It typically helps with chatter and small hits without being built for big impacts. Hardtail layout — suspension up front for control, rigid rear for a direct response. You’ll get better control on light roughness, but larger impacts can still unsettle the bike.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. Some measurements were missing, so part of this is estimated.

In E-bikeMountain, Why this fit flexibility rating: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time. Another point: Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket.

This scores 5.3/10 for comfort, so it feels moderately comfortable out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. It’s running about 40 mm tires on 700c wheels, and the tires help take the sting out of smaller impacts on roots, rocks, braking bumps, and repeated hits. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 28% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 80% of listings. Quick reference: €2.199 listed versus about €3.039 for a comparable build. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This setup is aimed at fast trail riding on less extreme terrain. It has about 80 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Suspension type (Hardtail) fits this kind of terrain.
