In mountain-bike land, this is a pedaling-speed measure - how fast it rolls when you're working for it. Put simply, it lands in the middle: capable pace, but not optimized for outright speed. The biggest contributors are a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a capable drivetrain that supports steady speed. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

How it climbs: 5.3/10. Within e-mountain bikes, this comes out around the middle. It’s set up for steady spinning on climbs. Your easiest gear lands around 20.6 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~18% versus similar bikes. “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 19.9 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. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

Suspension rating is 9/10 — “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. This level targets big hits and very rough trails, prioritizing stability under repeated impacts. Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. This is the kind of setup built to stay composed through fast, repeated big impacts.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. You get this posture because bar height comes out ~47 mm below the saddle (moderate), with about 637 mm of forward reach - a very long stretch. Expect a lean angle around 28 degrees. Front-end spacers are estimated around 17 mm.

In E-bikeMountain, Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable. Fit flexibility summary: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts. Another point: Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts.

Comfort comes out to 8.5/10, which usually translates to a very smooth ride. For Downhill, it’s labeled Firm. In absolute terms it’s very smooth; it’s just not as sofa-soft as the most plush setups. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

You’re paying a big premium here versus similar builds. 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 86% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 0% of them. Quick reference: €14.385 listed versus about €7.743 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This bike is made for very rough terrain, big hits, and bike-park riding. It has about 170 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which is useful for big hits and steeper descents. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
