CRAVE AL 03

For mountain bikes, this is about pedaling and rolling speed on firm trails or hardpack, not downhill confidence. As a result, it's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. Most of the story comes from typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

On steep roads, it comes in at 5.3/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits around the middle. It has an easy low gear for steady climbing. The easiest gear works out to about 20.5 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~21% for low-gear climbing. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. 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. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

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. Both ends absorb impacts, improving how consistently the tires can follow rough terrain. 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.

Comfort fit - comfort-leaning without feeling sluggish. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, Hidden cables usually add a little friction when you swap bars or stems. Also, The dropper post improves on-the-fly position changes. Net result: Moderately Adjustable.

This scores 8.4/10 for comfort, so it feels highly forgiving out on the road. For Enduro, it’s labeled Balanced. 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 keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

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. The Full setup supports this riding style.
