CRAFTY RR

For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. Key drivers include a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. Those ingredients add up to a setup that either preserves speed or bleeds it off. As a result, it trades speed for comfort, durability, or practicality.

Climb score: 5.3/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits around the middle. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. The easiest gear works out to about 18.0 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~70% for low-gear climbing. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Weight is around 25.9 kg — on steep, slow climbs that extra mass becomes more noticeable. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. 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.

For bump control, it’s 8/10 — “High-impact ready”. It’s designed to stay composed through rough sections and repeated hits. Suspension at both ends helps keep wheel tracking steadier when the surface gets rough. This level is meant to keep the bike composed when hits are bigger and frequent. On rough trails, this level aims to keep the bike settled under braking and cornering through repeated hits.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. It feels this way because handlebar height is roughly 39 mm lower than the saddle (very small drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 649 mm (extreme). You'll likely be near 27 degrees of lean. Estimated spacers: ~14 mm.

In E-bikeMountain / Enduro, Net result: Race-Fit Specific. Fit flexibility summary: The front-end is built as a single system, which reduces easy fit part swaps, Internal routing is a mild hit to swap-and-go adjustability. Also, The dropper adds a real-world adjustability benefit while riding. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

This scores 8.3/10 for comfort, so it feels very smooth out on the road. For Enduro, it’s labeled Balanced. In absolute terms it’s very smooth; it’s just not as sofa-soft as the most plush setups. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

In simple terms, it comes out as ‘about right’ for the category. 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). Based on the spec estimate, it’s about 13% above the typical level for similar builds. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 51% of listings). Quick reference: €7.699 listed versus about €6.825 for a comparable build. Put simply: you’re paying roughly what similar bikes tend to cost.

This bike is built for rougher, more technical trails where control matters. It has about 150 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
