Samedi 29 Trail 11

For off-road use, the score focuses on how quickly the bike accelerates and keeps speed on hardpack and gravel paths. In contrast to speed-optimized builds, this build is shaped by a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. This means it's more about stability and usefulness than feeling fast.

How it climbs: 5.7/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it ranks around the middle. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. 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 is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. With roughly 23.0 kg under you, you’ll feel the weight on longer climbs even with a decent low gear. 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. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

Suspension rating is 7/10 — “High-impact ready”. It typically supports higher-speed rough sections where impacts stack up quickly. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. 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.

Comfort fit - less tuck and easier on neck and shoulders. Based on full geometry data.

Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time, and Having a dropper increases how adaptable the bike feels in different situations. So we classify it as Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 8.0/10, which usually translates to a very smooth ride. That’s why it’s labeled Race-Stiff. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

In simple terms, it comes out as ‘about right’ for the category. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 65% of listings). To anchor it: price €7.770 versus an estimated €7.450 for a similar build. Overall, it sits in the expected range for the category.

This setup suits steeper, rockier terrain and harder hits. It has about 150 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
