E-Zesty AM 9.4

For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. The biggest contributors are typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. It's the combination that matters: weight, rolling resistance, and (for road) aerodynamics.

If your rides include hills, it rates 7.0/10 for climbing. Within e-mountain bikes, it ranks above average. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. Your easiest gear lands around 18.2 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~59% versus similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Being an e-bike helps on climbs because the assist adds steady push when you need it. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

Suspension sits at 7/10, in “High-impact ready”. It’s designed to stay composed through rough sections and repeated hits. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. On rough trails, this level aims to keep the bike settled under braking and cornering through repeated hits.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. Based on full geometry data.

Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. Also, The dropper post improves on-the-fly position changes. So we classify it as Adjustable.

Comfort comes out to 8.1/10, which usually translates to a very smooth ride. So it’s tagged Comfortable overall. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

For the spec, this is priced well into premium territory. 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 comparison, it sits roughly 58% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 14% of them. To anchor it: price €7.980 versus an estimated €5.035 for a similar build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This bike is built for everyday trails with a mix of roots, rocks, and turns. 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.
