E-160 S 29er

This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. Pedal assist doesn't erase physics; tire drag and weight still influence pace, and this score reflects that. The strongest influences are typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

On steep roads, it comes in at 5.1/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits around the middle. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 20.9 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~18% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. 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. 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.

Suspension sits at 8/10, in “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. Rough trails should feel more controlled, especially when hits stack up. Some brands don’t publish full suspension measurements, so this summary follows the suspension layout and typical builds for this style.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. This is mainly because the cockpit sits 33 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~655 mm (extreme). Expect a lean angle around 26 degrees. Front-end spacers are estimated around 14 mm.

Why this fit flexibility rating: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, and Internal routing is a mild hit to swap-and-go adjustability. Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable.

Ride comfort is 8.3/10 — on a real ride it feels plush. Within Enduro, Balanced basically means 'less plush than the softest builds' even though the ride still feels plush. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

Against comparable bikes, this comes out looking overpriced. 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 46% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 15% of them. To anchor it: price €7.989 versus an estimated €5.465 for a similar build. Some manufacturer details aren’t fully published, so use this as a helpful direction rather than a final verdict. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

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. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
