Phase MX Factory

It tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo. This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. The main reasons are typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Climb score: 5.9/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it lands around the middle. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. The easiest gear works out to about 19.3 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~34% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

Suspension sits at 8/10, in “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. It prioritizes stability at speed on rough ground. On choppy terrain, it can help the wheels track more consistently. Travel is how far the suspension can move when it hits a bump — here it’s about 165 mm at the rear. As a rule of thumb, more travel gives more headroom for bigger impacts.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. Because bars are around 34 mm lower than the saddle, which is a very small drop, and the forward stretch measures around 650 mm (extreme). You'll likely be near 26 degrees of lean.

Main reasons for the fit flexibility result: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. At the same time, A dropper post adds practical adjustability while riding. That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 8.5/10 — on a real ride it feels highly forgiving. That’s why it’s labeled Comfortable. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

This looks like a high asking price for the build level. 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 48% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 15% of them. Quick reference: €10.711 listed versus about €7.249 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This bike is built for rougher, more technical trails where control matters. It has about 165 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
