Shuttle Team Special Edition

It prioritizes confidence and everyday riding over outright pace. For off-road use, the score focuses on how quickly the bike accelerates and keeps speed on hardpack and gravel paths. Key drivers include typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load.

Climbing rating: 5.9/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels easy. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 19.3 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~34% for low-gear climbing. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. 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 setup comes out at 8/10 — “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.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. It feels this way because the front end is moderate, with ~51 mm of saddle-to-bar drop, with a very long stretch forward at ~614 mm. Expect a lean angle around 29 degrees.

Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical; A dropper post adds practical adjustability while riding. Overall, it falls into Adjustable.

This scores 8.3/10 for comfort, so it feels plush out on the road. It’s tagged Balanced for Enduro — it feels plush overall, but it’s on the firmer end compared with the plushest Enduro builds. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

This doesn’t look like the best deal once you compare it to similar builds. 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). Based on the spec estimate, it’s about 19% above the typical level for similar builds. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 41% of listings). To anchor it: price €8.400 versus an estimated €7.049 for a similar build. Some manufacturer details aren’t fully published, so use this as a helpful direction rather than a final verdict. Put simply: it’s a bit pricey for what you get.

This setup suits steeper, rockier terrain and harder hits. It has about 160 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
