Elite 29

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. All else equal, it's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. Several build choices play a role, including typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

Overall on climbs: 6.4/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it lands around the middle. It has an easy low gear for steady climbing. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 18.6 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~47% 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. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. 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 rating is 7/10 — “High-impact ready”. This level is aimed at repeated impacts and rougher terrain, keeping the bike more settled at speed. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. It’s designed to stay composed when impacts come quickly one after another, especially at higher speeds.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. You get this posture because bar height comes out ~25 mm below the saddle (very small), with about 606 mm of forward reach - a very long stretch. Plan for roughly 25 degrees of lean.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. At the same time, Seatpost details do not strongly point to a very locked-in or very flexible system. Net result: Adjustable.

Comfort comes out to 8.2/10, which usually translates to a highly forgiving ride. For Enduro, it’s labeled Firm. In absolute terms it’s highly forgiving; it’s just not as sofa-soft as the most plush setups. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

This bike is built for rougher, more technical trails where control matters. It has about 150 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. The Full setup supports this riding style.
