RUBY Pro

In MTB terms, the score is mostly about momentum on flats and climbs, rather than jump or drop capability. So overall, it's one of the more speed-focused builds in its group. A few practical factors stand out: relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, 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...

Overall on climbs: 5.2/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits around the middle. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. That lowest gear comes out around 20.5 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~19% for low-gear climbing. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. 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. 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 performance: 6/10. It’s grouped into “Confident trail control”. It’s the kind of setup that stays more composed through repeated small-to-medium hits. You get suspension movement at the front, while the rear stays firm and direct. Rough trails should feel more controlled, especially when hits stack up. Expect steadier tracking on rougher sections without feeling like a long-travel downhill setup.

Comfort fit - less tuck and easier on neck and shoulders. You get this posture because bars are around 3 mm lower than the saddle, which is a very small drop, and the forward stretch measures around 535 mm (long). Expect a lean angle around 22 degrees.

In E-bikeMountain / Trail, Net result: Adjustable. This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time. At the same time, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 6.4/10 — on a real ride it feels comfortable. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. The posture is more upright (posture 4/10), which keeps things more relaxed, especially on long rides.

Compared to similar bikes, this is priced very competitively. 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 parts list, it’s roughly 40% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 99% of listings. To anchor it: price €2.624 versus an estimated €4.343 for a similar build. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This setup suits typical singletrack and varied natural terrain. Suspension travel is unknown in this entry, so the surface range uses the clearest available signals. The Hardtail setup supports this riding style.
