LEVEL RR

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. Most of the story comes from a heavier build, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. All combined, they influence momentum - how hard it is to get moving and how hard it is to keep moving.

How it climbs: 5.2/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits around the middle. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. Your easiest gear lands around 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. With roughly 26.9 kg under you, you’ll feel the weight on longer climbs even with a decent low gear. Being an e-bike helps on climbs because the assist adds steady push when you need it. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

For bump control, it’s 9/10 — “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. That’s built for big impacts and very rough terrain, where keeping wheels tracking matters most. Suspension at both ends helps keep wheel tracking steadier when the surface gets rough. 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. You get this posture because the front end is very small, with ~28 mm of saddle-to-bar drop, with a extreme stretch forward at ~649 mm. You'll likely be near 25 degrees of lean. Front-end spacers are estimated around 14 mm.

That is why we label it Race-Fit Specific. This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: The front-end is built as a single system, which reduces easy fit part swaps, Because cables are routed internally, adjustments may take more work. Another point: A dropper post adds practical adjustability while riding. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Ride comfort is 8.5/10 — on a real ride it feels very smooth. So it’s tagged Comfortable overall. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

The value looks a bit weak compared with similar options. 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 30% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 31% of listings). Quick reference: €8.738 listed versus about €6.723 for a comparable build. Overall, it doesn’t look like the best value for the spec.

This bike is built for rougher, more technical trails where control matters. It has about 170 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
