E-STREAM EVO 1 27.5 Wave

For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. As a result, it's designed for a mix of riding rather than top-end pace. Key drivers include typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

Climbing rating: 8.2/10. Within e-mountain bikes, this comes out above average. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 17.3 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~81% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. Being an e-bike helps on climbs because the assist adds steady push when you need it. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

Suspension score: 6/10. It sits in the “Confident trail control” bucket. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. Front suspension handles most impacts, while the rear wheel tracks the ground directly. It should keep the bike more controlled on mixed surfaces, especially through repeated small-to-medium impacts.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. Mostly geometry-based, with a small category-based estimate.

Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, and Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. Net result: Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 6.3/10, which usually translates to a easygoing over rough patches ride. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

This sits around the normal range for similar bikes. 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’s about 12% above the typical level for similar builds. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 48% of listings). To anchor it: price €4.304 versus an estimated €3.846 for a similar build. Overall, it sits in the expected range for the category.

This setup is aimed at fast trail riding on less extreme terrain. It has about 120 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Even though it’s tagged Trail, the setup fits Flow Trails better.
