MAYOR PLUS 4 MidStep

It leans strongly toward pace compared with similar bikes. For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. Several build choices play a role, including a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, and a capable drivetrain that supports steady speed.

Uphill performance score: 5.4/10. Within e-mountain bikes, this comes out around the middle. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. The easiest gear works out to about 16.9 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~91% of them. “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. With roughly 27.6 kg under you, you’ll feel the weight on longer climbs even with a decent low gear. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Suspension effectiveness is 5/10. That aligns with “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. It’s a common compromise: calmer front wheel, efficient rear end. Expect more grip and stability compared with basic bump-control setups. On roots and rocks, it should keep the bike calmer through repeated impacts. It should keep the bike more controlled on mixed surfaces, especially through repeated small-to-medium impacts.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. You get this posture because bars are around 0 mm lower than the saddle, which is a very small drop, and the forward stretch measures around 578 mm (long). Expect a lean angle around 20 degrees. Estimated spacers: ~21 mm.

Net result: Adjustable. This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time. Also, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical.

This scores 5.8/10 for comfort, so it feels fairly neutral out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. It’s running about 50 mm tires on 700c wheels, and there’s enough tire volume to keep it from feeling sharp on roots, rocks, braking bumps, and repeated hits. The posture is more upright (posture 4/10), which keeps things more relaxed, especially on long rides.

For the spec, this is priced well into premium territory. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 77% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 3% of them. To anchor it: price €6.720 versus an estimated €3.787 for a similar build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This bike is best for smoother trails where speed and efficiency matter. It has about 100 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Suspension type (Hardtail) fits this kind of terrain.
