XXF 2.0 Race

On trails, this rating is about rolling speed and momentum, not suspension feel or handling sharpness. For e-bikes, this still reflects the bike's rolling and aero traits more than raw motor output. The strongest influences are wide, grippy tires that trade speed for traction and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. As a result, it tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo.

How it climbs: 6.6/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits above average. It has an easy low gear for steady climbing. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 18.4 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~49% for low-gear climbing. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Being an e-bike helps on climbs because the assist adds steady push when you need it. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. 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.

On the suspension scale, it comes in at 10/10 — “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. That’s built for big impacts and very rough terrain, where keeping wheels tracking matters most. Suspension at both ends helps keep wheel tracking steadier when the surface gets rough. This is the kind of setup built to stay composed through fast, repeated big impacts.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. Mostly geometry-based, with a small category-based estimate.

What affects adjustability on this bike: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability. Also, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. So it lands in Moderately Adjustable. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Comfort comes out to 9.1/10, which usually translates to a very smooth ride. That’s why it’s labeled Ultra Smooth. 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 200 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.
