CRAVE AL 40

On smoother singletrack, faster-rolling tires and lighter builds show up clearly, and that's what this score reflects. Compared with trail-speed specialists, this build is shaped by typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

Overall on climbs: 5.3/10. Within e-mountain bikes, this comes out around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels easy. The easiest gear works out to about 20.5 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~21% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. 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.

For bump control, it’s 8/10 — “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 is meant for rougher terrain where repeated impacts demand stable wheel tracking.

Comfort fit - comfort-leaning without feeling sluggish. Based on full geometry data.

Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, and Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. Net result: Adjustable.

This scores 8.2/10 for comfort, so it feels plush out on the road. Within Enduro, Firm basically means 'less plush than the softest builds' even though the ride still feels plush. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

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. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
