ECC 5

It tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo. This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. What pushes it in this direction is a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Uphill performance score: 6.1/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it lands around the middle. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. That lowest gear comes out around 16.6 gear inches. It’s about as easy as it gets in its peer group — easier than roughly ~99% of similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. With roughly 24.4 kg under you, you’ll feel the weight on longer climbs even with a decent low gear. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. 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 sits at 8/10, in “High-impact ready”. That usually means it’s built for harder hits and rougher trails with steadier wheel tracking. 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. Rough trails should feel more controlled, especially when hits stack up. Some brands don’t publish full suspension measurements, so this summary follows the suspension layout and typical builds for this style.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. Because the front end is very small, with ~0 mm of saddle-to-bar drop, with a extreme stretch forward at ~644 mm. Estimated lean is about 20 degrees. Estimated spacers: ~16 mm.

Overall, it falls into Adjustable. Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts, and Standard seatpost sizing improves compatibility for different setbacks and lengths.

This scores 8.4/10 for comfort, so it feels very smooth out on the road. Within Enduro, Balanced basically means 'less plush than the softest builds' even though the ride still feels very smooth. It’s running about 62 mm tires on 29" wheels, and the high-volume tires add a lot of damping and grip on roots, rocks, braking bumps, and repeated hits. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

You’re paying a big premium here versus similar builds. 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 comparison, it sits roughly 45% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 17% of them. To anchor it: price €9.945 versus an estimated €6.867 for a similar build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

This bike is built for rougher, more technical trails where control matters. It has about 160 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
