Patriot LE

For mountain riding, it captures how the bike carries speed when you're pushing the pedals on less technical surfaces. In real riding, it trades speed for comfort, durability, or practicality. What pushes it in this direction is typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum, and a solid drivetrain that supports...

Climb score: 6.6/10. Within e-mountain bikes, this comes out above average. On climbs, the lowest gear feels easy. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 18.3 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~51% of them. “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. Being an e-bike helps on climbs because the assist adds steady push when you need it. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. 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.

For bump control, it’s 8/10 — “High-impact ready”. That usually means it’s built for harder hits and rougher trails with steadier wheel tracking. Full suspension means both ends can absorb impacts, helping the wheels track rough ground more consistently. Travel is how far the suspension can move when it hits a bump — here it’s about 170 mm at the rear. As a rule of thumb, more travel gives more headroom for bigger impacts. It’s designed to stay composed when impacts come quickly one after another, especially at higher speeds.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. You get this posture because the bar sits about 19 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 642 mm in total (extreme). You'll likely be near 24 degrees of lean.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical. At the same time, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Net result: Moderately Adjustable. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Comfort comes out to 8.3/10, which usually translates to a plush ride. Within Enduro, Firm basically means 'less plush than the softest builds' even though the ride still feels plush. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

For the spec, this is priced well into premium territory. 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 comparison, it sits roughly 40% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 21% of them. To anchor it: price €9.976 versus an estimated €7.149 for a similar build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This bike is made for very rough terrain, big hits, and bike-park riding. It has about 170 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which is useful for big hits and steeper descents. The Full setup supports this riding style.
