Samedi 28.7 Open

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. The strongest influences are a heavier build, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

On steep roads, it comes in at 4.7/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits around the middle. It’s set up for steady spinning on climbs. That lowest gear comes out around 20.6 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~18% versus similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. With roughly 26.9 kg under you, you’ll feel the weight on longer climbs even with a decent low gear. Being an e-bike helps on climbs because the assist adds steady push when you need it. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

On suspension support it’s 4/10, marked “Basic bump control”. It typically helps with chatter and small hits without being built for big impacts. It’s a common compromise: calmer front wheel, efficient rear end. It’s most noticeable on washboard and small trail chatter. When exact travel numbers aren’t available, we base this on the suspension layout and what’s typical for similar builds. It should improve stability on small bumps, but it isn’t meant for big hits or very rough terrain.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. Based on full geometry data.

Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width; Internal cable routing can slow down fit-related part changes. Net result: Moderately Adjustable.

Ride comfort is 6.0/10 — on a real ride it feels fairly neutral. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. It’s running about 50 mm tires, and there’s enough tire volume to keep it from feeling sharp 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.

Overall, this feels reasonably priced. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 44% of listings). To anchor it: price €4.199 versus an estimated €3.959 for a similar build. Put simply: you’re paying roughly what similar bikes tend to cost.

This setup is aimed at fast trail riding on less extreme terrain. It has about 63 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. The Hardtail setup supports this riding style.
