DEFT 8.0 750

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. Over longer efforts, it's more about stability and usefulness than feeling fast. The setup that matters most here is a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

If your rides include hills, it rates 5.0/10 for climbing. Within e-mountain bikes, it ranks around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels easy. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 19.3 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~34% versus similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Weight is around 24.8 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. 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.

Suspension handling is rated 8/10. It matches “High-impact ready”. This level is aimed at repeated impacts and rougher terrain, keeping the bike more settled at speed. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. It prioritizes stability at speed on rough ground. This is meant for rougher terrain where repeated impacts demand stable wheel tracking.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. Mostly geometry-based, with a small category-based estimate.

Net result: Adjustable. This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Also, Having a dropper increases how adaptable the bike feels in different situations.

Comfort comes out to 8.5/10, which usually translates to a very smooth ride. That’s why it’s labeled Comfortable. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

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. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
