MACINA LYCAN 772 GLORIOUS

On an MTB, the speed score centers on rolling efficiency when you're pedaling, especially on easier terrain. Compared with trail-speed specialists, this build is shaped by a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum.

On steep roads, it comes in at 5.5/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it lands around the middle. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. The easiest gear works out to about 17.3 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~81% for low-gear climbing. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. At about 26.3 kg, it’s a heavy build; the low gear matters even more when the slope kicks up. Being an e-bike helps on climbs because the assist adds steady push when you need it. 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: 7/10. It sits in the “High-impact ready” bucket. It’s designed to stay composed through rough sections and repeated hits. Full suspension means both ends can absorb impacts, helping the wheels track rough ground more consistently. It prioritizes stability at speed on rough ground. This is meant for rougher terrain where repeated impacts demand stable wheel tracking.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. This is mainly because bars are around 61 mm lower than the saddle, which is a moderate drop, and the forward stretch measures around 599 mm (very long). Estimated lean is about 31 degrees. Front-end spacers are estimated around 16 mm.

This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Also, A dropper post adds practical adjustability while riding. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Ride comfort is 7.3/10 — on a real ride it feels nicely smooth. For Trail, it’s labeled Firm. In absolute terms it’s nicely smooth; it’s just not as sofa-soft as the most plush setups. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~31°), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

This setup suits typical singletrack and varied natural terrain. It has about 140 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
