DEFT 10.0 750

For off-road use, the score focuses on how quickly the bike accelerates and keeps speed on hardpack and gravel paths. It ends up here thanks to a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. Add it all up and you get a clear tilt toward speed or toward utility. So overall, it tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo.

On steep roads, it comes in at 5.6/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it ranks around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. That lowest gear comes out around 17.7 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~75% 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. Weight is around 24.1 kg — on steep, slow climbs that extra mass becomes more noticeable. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. 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.

On suspension support it’s 8/10, marked “High-impact ready”. This level is aimed at repeated impacts and rougher terrain, keeping the bike more settled at speed. Full suspension means both ends can absorb impacts, helping the wheels track rough ground more consistently. This is meant for rougher terrain where repeated impacts demand stable wheel tracking.

Comfort fit - comfort-leaning without feeling sluggish. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

What drives the fit flexibility here: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time; A dropper post adds practical adjustability while riding. Overall, it falls into Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

This scores 8.2/10 for comfort, so it feels very smooth out on the road. It’s tagged Firm for Enduro — it feels very smooth overall, but it’s on the firmer end compared with the plushest Enduro builds. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

This reads like a good buy compared with similar bikes. 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). Based on the spec estimate, it comes in about 9% under the typical level for similar builds. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 83% of listings. To anchor it: price €7.350 versus an estimated €8.037 for a similar build. Put simply: it’s competitively priced for what you get.

This setup suits steeper, rockier terrain and harder hits. It has about 170 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
