E-504

For off-road use, the score focuses on how quickly the bike accelerates and keeps speed on hardpack and gravel paths. Against lighter, narrower-tire builds, this build is shaped by typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

How it climbs: 4.6/10. Within e-mountain bikes, it sits around the middle. On steep gradients, you’ll be grinding more than spinning. The easiest gear works out to about 23.6 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~12% 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. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. On proper hills, you’ll feel it — this setup isn’t built to make climbing effortless. 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”. It’s the kind of setup that stays more composed through repeated small-to-medium hits. Hardtail layout — suspension up front for control, rigid rear for a direct response. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. You get this posture because there's about 9 mm of drop to the bars (very small), with roughly 588 mm of forward stretch to the bar (very long). Expect a lean angle around 23 degrees.

A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, Internal cable routing can slow down fit-related part changes, Seatpost details do not strongly point to a very locked-in or very flexible system. Also, The dropper post improves on-the-fly position changes. So we classify it as Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 6.3/10 — on a real ride it feels nicely smooth. That’s why it’s labeled Race-Stiff. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

In simple terms, it comes out as ‘about right’ for the category. 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 spec estimate, it’s about 9% above the typical level for similar builds. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 50% of listings). To anchor it: price €4.493 versus an estimated €4.123 for a similar build. Overall, it sits in the expected range for the category.

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.
