Overvolt AM 9.7

This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. Next to race-leaning setups, this build is shaped by typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load.

On steep roads, it comes in at 7.5/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it lands above average. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 18.0 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~72% 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. 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.

Suspension rating is 8/10 — “High-impact ready”. It typically supports higher-speed rough sections where impacts stack up quickly. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. Expect stronger control when braking and cornering on rough terrain. On roots and rocks, it should keep the bike calmer through repeated impacts. It’s designed to stay composed when impacts come quickly one after another, especially at higher speeds.

Comfort fit - less tuck and easier on neck and shoulders. Based on full geometry data.

What affects adjustability on this bike: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Plus, The dropper adds a real-world adjustability benefit while riding. Net result: Adjustable.

Ride comfort is 8.5/10 — on a real ride it feels highly forgiving. That’s the reason it lands as Comfortable. It’s running about 64 mm tires on 27.5" 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 5/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

You’re paying a big premium here versus similar builds. 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 42% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 20% of them. Quick reference: €9.450 listed versus about €6.667 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This setup suits steeper, rockier terrain and harder hits. It has about 170 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
