Samedi 29 Trail 5

On trails, this rating is about rolling speed and momentum, not suspension feel or handling sharpness. Compared with comfort-biased setups, this build is shaped by a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Overall on climbs: 5.7/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it lands around the middle. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 16.9 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~91% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. With roughly 25.0 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. 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.

Suspension capability comes out at 7/10. Bucket: “High-impact ready”. It’s designed to stay composed through rough sections and repeated hits. Full suspension means both ends can absorb impacts, helping the wheels track rough ground more consistently. 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. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. Also, A dropper post adds practical adjustability while riding. Overall, it falls into Adjustable.

Ride comfort is 8.0/10 — on a real ride it feels highly forgiving. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

For the spec, this feels competitively priced. 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 estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 78% of listings. Quick reference: €5.564 listed versus about €5.851 for a comparable build. Overall, it looks like a strong buy in its category.

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.
