Drössiger Ride-E Diamant 2

For mountain riding, it captures how the bike carries speed when you're pushing the pedals on less technical surfaces. Put simply, it's quick enough for most rides, but not a pure fastest-possible build. A few practical factors stand out: 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...

Overall on climbs: 8.2/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits above average. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. The easiest gear works out to about 17.3 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~81% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Suspension sits at 6/10, in “Confident trail control”. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. The fork does the smoothing; the rear stays straightforward and efficient. Some brands don’t publish full suspension measurements, so this summary follows the suspension layout and typical builds for this style. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. It feels this way because the front end is very small, with ~0 mm of saddle-to-bar drop, with a very long stretch forward at ~609 mm. Plan for roughly 21 degrees of lean.

That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. What drives the fit flexibility here: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical; A dropper post adds practical adjustability while riding.

Ride comfort is 6.3/10 — on a real ride it feels nicely smooth. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

This reads like a good buy compared with 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). On the spec estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 69% of listings. Quick reference: €4.829 listed versus about €4.936 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s competitively priced for what you get.

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. The Hardtail setup supports this riding style.
