XMF 1.7

This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. What pushes it in this direction is typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

Overall on climbs: 6.3/10. Within e-mountain bikes, this comes out around the middle. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 18.7 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~44% 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. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. 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 8/10. That aligns with “High-impact ready”. It typically supports higher-speed rough sections where impacts stack up quickly. Full suspension means both ends can absorb impacts, helping the wheels track rough ground more consistently. It’s designed to stay composed when impacts come quickly one after another, especially at higher speeds.

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

So it lands in Moderately Adjustable. Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width. At the same time, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Ride comfort is 8.8/10 — on a real ride it feels very smooth. That’s why it’s labeled Comfortable. It’s running about 127 mm tires on 27.5" wheels, and the high-volume tires add a lot of damping and grip 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 setup is built to handle steep lines and heavy impacts. It has about 170 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which is useful for big hits and steeper descents. The Full setup supports this riding style.
