LEVEL R

In MTB terms, the score is mostly about momentum on flats and climbs, rather than jump or drop capability. In real riding, it's quick enough for most rides, but not a pure fastest-possible build. It ends up here thanks to a heavier build, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

On steep roads, it comes in at 5.2/10. Within e-mountain bikes, this comes out around the middle. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. The easiest gear works out to about 18.0 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~70% versus similar bikes. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. With roughly 26.7 kg under you, you’ll feel the weight on longer climbs even with a decent low gear. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Suspension setup comes out at 9/10 — “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. That’s built for big impacts and very rough terrain, where keeping wheels tracking matters most. Full suspension means both ends can absorb impacts, helping the wheels track rough ground more consistently. It’s built to stay stable through repeated big impacts and rough landings. It’s tuned for steep, rough terrain where keeping the wheels tracking under hard hits is the priority.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. That's driven by the bar sits about 28 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 649 mm in total (extreme). You'll likely be near 25 degrees of lean.

That is why we label it Race-Fit Specific. Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: With a one-piece cockpit, the bike is more fixed in its stock position, Internal routing looks tidy but can make cockpit changes a bit more fiddly, and Having a dropper increases how adaptable the bike feels in different situations. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

This scores 8.5/10 for comfort, so it feels highly forgiving out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Comfortable. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

This looks like a typical market price for the spec. 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 11% above the typical level for similar builds. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 54% of listings). Quick reference: €7.489 listed versus about €6.724 for a comparable build. Bottom line: it’s a normal deal — not amazing, not terrible.

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.
