SAM² 6.0

In MTB terms, the score is mostly about momentum on flats and climbs, rather than jump or drop capability. Versus the most speed-focused options, this build is shaped by a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. So overall, it's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits.

How it climbs: 1.1/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it ranks near the bottom. This setup leans heavily toward ‘push’ rather than ‘spin’ on climbs. Your easiest gear lands around 72.0 gear inches. Most comparable bikes have an easier low gear; this is easier than only about ~1% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. At about 26.4 kg, it’s a heavy build; the low gear matters even more when the slope kicks up. Being an e-bike helps on climbs because the assist adds steady push when you need it. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. 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 score: 8/10. It sits in the “High-impact ready” bucket. That usually means it’s built for harder hits and rougher trails with steadier wheel tracking. Full suspension means both ends can absorb impacts, helping the wheels track rough ground more consistently. Some brands don’t publish full suspension measurements, so this summary follows the suspension layout and typical builds for this style. 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. This is mainly because the front end is very small, with ~31 mm of saddle-to-bar drop, with a extreme stretch forward at ~659 mm. You'll likely be near 26 degrees of lean. Front-end spacers are estimated around 14 mm.

The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, Internal routing is a mild hit to swap-and-go adjustability; Standard seatpost sizing improves compatibility for different setbacks and lengths. So it lands in Moderately Adjustable. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Comfort comes out to 6.9/10, which usually translates to a easygoing over rough patches ride. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. It’s running about 65 mm tires on 700c wheels, and the high-volume tires add a lot of damping and grip on roots, rocks, braking bumps, and repeated hits. 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.

The price looks hard to justify versus similar options. 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 32% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 28% of listings). To anchor it: price €9.135 versus an estimated €6.941 for a similar build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This setup is built to handle steep lines and heavy impacts. It has about 170 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which is useful for big hits and steeper descents. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
