On an MTB, the speed score centers on rolling efficiency when you're pedaling, especially on easier terrain. Most of the story comes from a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. All combined, they influence momentum - how hard it is to get moving and how hard it is to keep moving.

On steep roads, it comes in at 6.0/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits around the middle. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 16.9 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~91% 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. At about 24.3 kg, it’s a heavy build; the low gear matters even more when the slope kicks up. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Suspension rating is 8/10 — “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. This level is meant to keep the bike composed when hits are bigger and frequent. Travel means the suspension’s movement range over a bump. On this bike it’s about 170 mm up front and 160 mm at the rear. Generally, more travel helps when hits get bigger or come faster.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. This is mainly because there's about 86 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 657 mm of forward stretch to the bar (extreme). You'll likely be near 34 degrees of lean.

Main reasons for the fit flexibility result: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability. Plus, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable.

Ride comfort is 8.4/10 — on a real ride it feels plush. For Enduro, it’s labeled Balanced. In absolute terms it’s plush; it’s just not as sofa-soft as the most plush setups. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 8/10, torso ~34°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

This looks like a typical market price for the spec. 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 66% of listings. To anchor it: price €7.350 versus an estimated €7.104 for a similar build. Some manufacturer details aren’t fully published, so use this as a helpful direction rather than a final verdict. Overall, it sits in the expected range for the category.

This setup suits steeper, rockier terrain and harder hits. It has about 160 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. The Full setup supports this riding style.
