DEFT 9.0 750

On an MTB, the speed score centers on rolling efficiency when you're pedaling, especially on easier terrain. Compared with more speed-first builds, this build is shaped by 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. In real riding, it tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo.

How it climbs: 5.1/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits around the middle. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. That lowest gear comes out around 19.0 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~42% versus similar bikes. “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 24.6 kg — on steep, slow climbs that extra mass becomes more noticeable. The motor support helps you keep rolling when the slope kicks up. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. 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.

For suspension control, it lands at 8/10. Category: “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. Expect stronger control when braking and cornering on rough terrain. It’s designed to stay composed when impacts come quickly one after another, especially at higher speeds.

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

In E-bikeMountain, That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. What affects adjustability on this bike: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. At the same time, Seatpost details do not strongly point to a very locked-in or very flexible system.

This scores 8.5/10 for comfort, so it feels very smooth out on the road. That’s why it’s labeled Comfortable. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

This looks like a great buy for the spec on paper. 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 10% under the typical level for similar builds. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 85% of listings. Quick reference: €6.510 listed versus about €7.237 for a comparable build. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

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.
