TRA 5

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. Compared with trail-speed specialists, this build is shaped by a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a capable drivetrain that supports steady speed. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground. When you push the pace, it aims for an all-round feel more than maximum speed.

If your rides include hills, it rates 4.6/10 for climbing. Within e-mountain bikes, this comes out around the middle. This setup leans heavily toward ‘push’ rather than ‘spin’ on climbs. The easiest gear works out to about 22.3 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~14% versus similar bikes. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. With roughly 24.7 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. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

Suspension rating is 6/10 — “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. Both ends absorb impacts, improving how consistently the tires can follow rough terrain. It should feel noticeably calmer through repeated bumps and rough patches. Expect steadier tracking on rougher sections without feeling like a long-travel downhill setup.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. This is mainly because bars are around 24 mm lower than the saddle, which is a very small drop, and the forward stretch measures around 629 mm (very long). Estimated lean is about 25 degrees.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts, and A standard round seatpost size gives you many options for fit and replacements. Overall, it falls into Adjustable. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Ride comfort is 7.7/10 — on a real ride it feels very smooth. It’s tagged Balanced for Trail — it feels very smooth overall, but it’s on the firmer end compared with the plushest Trail builds. It’s running about 58 mm tires on 29" wheels, and the high-volume tires add a lot of damping and grip on roots, rocks, braking bumps, and repeated hits. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

This looks like a great buy for the spec on paper. 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 25% 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 95% of listings. To anchor it: price €3.314 versus an estimated €4.424 for a similar build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This setup suits typical singletrack and varied natural terrain. It has about 130 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. The Full setup supports this riding style.
