Relay PNW Alloy GX

On trails, this rating is about rolling speed and momentum, not suspension feel or handling sharpness. Even with assistance, heavier builds and high-resistance tires can blunt speed, and this score picks up those differences. Key drivers include a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

If your rides include hills, it rates 6.3/10 for climbing. Within e-mountain bikes, it lands around the middle. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. The easiest gear works out to about 16.9 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~91% 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 22.6 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. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Suspension effectiveness is 8/10. That aligns with “High-impact ready”. This level is aimed at repeated impacts and rougher terrain, keeping the bike more settled at speed. Both ends absorb impacts, improving how consistently the tires can follow rough terrain. This is meant for rougher terrain where repeated impacts demand stable wheel tracking.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. You get this posture because handlebar height is roughly 27 mm lower than the saddle (very small drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 634 mm (very long). You'll likely be near 25 degrees of lean. Front-end spacers are estimated around 15 mm.

In E-bikeMountain / Enduro, So we classify it as Adjustable. Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time. At the same time, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier.

Ride comfort is 8.5/10 — on a real ride it feels very smooth. So it’s tagged Comfortable overall. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

The price feels a touch strong for the parts listed. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 29% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 32% of listings). Quick reference: €7.999 listed versus about €6.183 for a comparable build. Some manufacturer details aren’t fully published, so use this as a helpful direction rather than a final verdict. Overall, it doesn’t look like the best value for the spec.

This setup is built to handle steep lines and heavy impacts. It has about 170 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which is useful for big hits and steeper descents. It’s listed as Enduro, but the parts point more toward Bike Park.
