Samedi 26 FAT 4, Smart System

This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. If it's an e-bike, think of this as a bike speed feel score: how the parts and setup help the bike move fast. The strongest influences are a heavier build, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, smaller wheels that can lose momentum sooner, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

Climb score: 6.1/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits around the middle. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. The easiest gear works out to about 16.3 gear inches. It’s about as easy as it gets in its peer group — easier than roughly ~100% of similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. With roughly 25.4 kg under you, you’ll feel the weight on longer climbs even with a decent low gear. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. 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.

Suspension score: 5/10. It sits in the “Confident trail control” bucket. It’s built for clear bump absorption and more reliable wheel control on mixed surfaces. It’s a hardtail setup: the fork manages impacts up front, while the rear stays rigid and direct. Suspension measurements aren’t always listed consistently, so this description uses the suspension layout and common setups for this type of bike. Expect steadier tracking on rougher sections without feeling like a long-travel downhill setup.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. Another point: A dropper makes it easier to shift between climbing and descending positions. Net result: Adjustable.

Comfort comes out to 7.4/10, which usually translates to a nicely smooth ride. So it’s tagged Firm overall. The posture is more upright (posture 4/10), which keeps things more relaxed, especially on long rides.

You’re paying a big premium here versus similar builds. 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 32% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 0% of them. Quick reference: €6.299 listed versus about €4.762 for a comparable build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

This setup is designed to stay stable and grippy on softer surfaces. The tires are about 4.8 in, which helps it float and find grip on soft ground (like sand, snow, or deep mud). Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
