Phaze Mens Mountain Bike

It prioritizes confidence and everyday riding over outright pace. For mountain riding, it captures how the bike carries speed when you're pushing the pedals on less technical surfaces. The score is largely 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.

Uphill performance score: 5.3/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits around the middle. On steep gradients, you’ll be grinding more than spinning. Your easiest gear lands around 23.6 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~12% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. With about 15.6 kg to haul uphill, pacing matters more on longer grades. This is happiest on flatter terrain; steep stuff will feel demanding. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Suspension rating is 4/10 — “Basic bump control”. This level is meant to take the edge off smaller impacts and reduce wheel deflection. You get suspension movement at the front, while the rear stays firm and direct. This helps on chatter and smaller impacts, while bigger hits can still push it beyond its range.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

In Mountain, That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width. Also, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

This scores 6.5/10 for comfort, so it feels comfortable out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

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 78% 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 99% of listings. To anchor it: price €237 versus an estimated €1.092 for a similar build. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This setup is aimed at fast trail riding on less extreme terrain. It has about 60 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Suspension type (Hardtail) fits this kind of terrain.
