Root Miller Plus 1

In MTB terms, the score is mostly about momentum on flats and climbs, rather than jump or drop capability. What pushes it in this direction is a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. Together, these choices shape rolling resistance and how lively the bike feels. That's why it tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo.

Climbing rating: 5.3/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it ranks around the middle. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 19.1 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~40% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. Weight is around 23.0 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. 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.

For bump control, it’s 7/10 — “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. Travel is how far the suspension can move when it hits a bump — here it’s about 150 mm up front and 150 mm at the rear. As a rule of thumb, more travel gives more headroom for bigger impacts. It’s designed to stay composed when impacts come quickly one after another, especially at higher speeds.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. That's driven by the bar sits about 47 mm below the saddle (a moderate drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 582 mm in total (very long). Estimated lean is about 29 degrees.

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. At the same time, A dropper makes it easier to shift between climbing and descending positions. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

This scores 8.0/10 for comfort, so it feels plush out on the road. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

From a value angle, this comes out as a standout deal. 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. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 84% of listings. To anchor it: price €5.800 versus an estimated €6.453 for a similar build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This setup suits steeper, rockier terrain and harder hits. It has about 150 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
