SONIC EVO AM 3 ABS 29/27.5

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. In real riding, it's quick enough for most rides, but not a pure fastest-possible build. The biggest contributors are typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

How it climbs: 7.0/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it lands above average. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. The easiest gear works out to about 18.2 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~59% 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. 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. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

On suspension support it’s 7/10, marked “High-impact ready”. It typically supports higher-speed rough sections where impacts stack up quickly. Suspension at both ends helps keep wheel tracking steadier when the surface gets rough. On rough trails, this level aims to keep the bike settled under braking and cornering through repeated hits.

Comfort fit - less tuck and easier on neck and shoulders. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

So we classify it as Adjustable. This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, and Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

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 5/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

Overall, this feels reasonably priced. 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 estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 69% of listings. To anchor it: price €6.615 versus an estimated €6.547 for a similar build. Put simply: you’re paying roughly what similar bikes tend to cost.

This setup suits steeper, rockier terrain and harder hits. It has about 150 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
