MACINA TEAM 791

For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. For e-bikes, this still reflects the bike's rolling and aero traits more than raw motor output. The biggest contributors are a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

How it climbs: 5.4/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it ranks around the middle. It has an easy low gear for steady climbing. Your easiest gear lands around 18.2 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~59% 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 24.1 kg under you, you’ll feel the weight on longer climbs even with a decent low gear. Being an e-bike helps on climbs because the assist adds steady push when you need it. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. 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 sits at 6/10, in “Confident trail control”. It’s built for clear bump absorption and more reliable wheel control on mixed surfaces. The fork does the smoothing; the rear stays straightforward and efficient. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. Because the bar sits about 56 mm below the saddle (a moderate drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 579 mm in total (long). You'll likely be near 30 degrees of lean.

This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability - Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Net result: Adjustable.

This scores 6.5/10 for comfort, so it feels easygoing over rough patches out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~30°), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

This bike is best for smoother trails where speed and efficiency matter. It has about 120 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. The Hardtail setup supports this riding style.
