Samedi 29 Trail 9

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. Against more utility-focused bikes, this build is shaped by a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. On typical routes, it tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo.

How it climbs: 5.5/10. 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. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~70% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Weight is around 24.1 kg — on steep, slow climbs that extra mass becomes more noticeable. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. 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 score: 7/10. It sits in the “High-impact ready” bucket. That usually means it’s built for harder hits and rougher trails with steadier wheel tracking. Both ends absorb impacts, improving how consistently the tires can follow rough terrain. On rough trails, this level aims to keep the bike settled under braking and cornering through repeated hits.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts; Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical.

Comfort comes out to 8.0/10, which usually translates to a very smooth ride. That’s the reason it lands as 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. 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 69% of listings. Quick reference: €6.720 listed versus about €6.635 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 150 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
