Samedi 28.2

It's set up to reward hard efforts with higher cruising speed. For off-road use, the score focuses on how quickly the bike accelerates and keeps speed on hardpack and gravel paths. What pushes it in this direction is a heavier build, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

Uphill performance score: 4.1/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it lands around the middle. For hill work, the easiest gear is very tall. Your easiest gear lands around 24.0 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~11% for low-gear climbing. “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. At about 24.8 kg, it’s a heavy build; the low gear matters even more when the slope kicks up. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. 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 performance: 4/10. It’s grouped into “Basic bump control”. This level is meant to take the edge off smaller impacts and reduce wheel deflection. 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 neutral road posture that suits most riders. Some measurements were missing, so part of this is estimated.

That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width - Internal routing is a mild hit to swap-and-go adjustability.

Ride comfort is 6.0/10 — on a real ride it feels moderately comfortable. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. It’s running about 50 mm tires, 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.

This sits in a nice value spot for its category. 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 spec estimate, it comes in about 13% under the typical level for similar builds. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 64% of listings). To anchor it: price €2.939 versus an estimated €3.385 for a similar build. Bottom line: it compares well against similar bikes.

This bike is best for smoother trails where speed and efficiency matter. It has about 63 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. The Hardtail setup supports this riding style.
