R RAYMON TrailRay 160E 9.0 SE

It's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. On an MTB, the speed score centers on rolling efficiency when you're pedaling, especially on easier terrain. The strongest influences are a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Climb score: 4.1/10. Within e-mountain bikes, this comes out around the middle. On steep gradients, you’ll be grinding more than spinning. The easiest gear works out to about 23.9 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~12% for low-gear climbing. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. At about 25.6 kg, it’s a heavy build; the low gear matters even more when the slope kicks up. Being an e-bike helps on climbs because the assist adds steady push when you need it. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. 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.

On the suspension scale, it comes in at 8/10 — “High-impact ready”. That usually means it’s built for harder hits and rougher trails with steadier wheel tracking. Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. Rough trails should feel more controlled, especially when hits stack up. On rough trails, this level aims to keep the bike settled under braking and cornering through repeated hits.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. This is mainly because you get a large drop: roughly 87 mm from saddle to bar, plus about 667 mm of stretch forward (extreme). You'll likely be near 34 degrees of lean.

In E-bikeMountain / Enduro, That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time - Standard sizing usually means more aftermarket options for dialing in fit.

Ride comfort is 8.4/10 — on a real ride it feels very smooth. For Enduro, it’s labeled Balanced. In absolute terms it’s very smooth; it’s just not as sofa-soft as the most plush setups. It’s running about 60 mm tires on 29" wheels, and the high-volume tires add a lot of damping and grip on roots, rocks, braking bumps, and repeated hits. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 8/10, torso ~34°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. 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 comes in about 21% 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 94% of listings. Quick reference: €4.934 listed versus about €6.222 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 160 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. The Full setup supports this riding style.
