160E T1

For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. All else equal, it's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. Most of the story comes from 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.

If your rides include hills, it rates 5.7/10 for climbing. Within e-mountain bikes, this comes out around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels easy. The easiest gear works out to about 18.2 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~59% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Weight is around 22.5 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. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Suspension score: 8/10. It sits in the “High-impact ready” bucket. 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. It prioritizes stability at speed on rough ground. Some brands don’t publish full suspension measurements, so this summary follows the suspension layout and typical builds for this style. This is meant for rougher terrain where repeated impacts demand stable wheel tracking.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. That's driven by the bar sits about 51 mm below the saddle (a moderate drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 636 mm in total (very long). You'll likely be near 29 degrees of lean.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Plus, The dropper adds a real-world adjustability benefit while riding. That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Ride comfort is 8.4/10 — on a real ride it feels plush. It’s tagged Balanced for Enduro — it feels plush overall, but it’s on the firmer end compared with the plushest Enduro builds. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

It’s hard to see the value at this asking price. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 71% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 4% of them. To anchor it: price €12.700 versus an estimated €7.448 for a similar build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

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.
