Powerfly FS 9 Equipped Gen 2

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. For e-bikes, this still reflects the bike's rolling and aero traits more than raw motor output. Most of the story comes from a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum.

Overall on climbs: 5.4/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it ranks around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. Your easiest gear lands around 17.3 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~81% for low-gear climbing. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Weight is around 27.1 kg — on steep, slow climbs that extra mass becomes more noticeable. Being an e-bike helps on climbs because the assist adds steady push when you need it. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

Suspension: 6/10, classed as “Confident trail control”. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. Full suspension means both ends can absorb impacts, helping the wheels track rough ground more consistently. Rough trails should feel more controlled, especially when hits stack up. Expect steadier tracking on rougher sections without feeling like a long-travel downhill setup.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. Because the cockpit sits 90 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~590 mm (very long). Expect a lean angle around 37 degrees.

In E-bikeMountain / Crosscountry, What affects adjustability on this bike: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, Because cables are routed internally, adjustments may take more work, Standard seatpost sizing improves compatibility for different setbacks and lengths. Another point: A dropper makes it easier to shift between climbing and descending positions. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 7.4/10 — on a real ride it feels nicely smooth. So it’s tagged Comfortable overall. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~37°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

This is priced well above what we’d usually expect for a similar setup. 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 comparison, it sits roughly 51% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 7% of them. To anchor it: price €7.665 versus an estimated €5.067 for a similar build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

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. The Full setup supports this riding style.
