ATACAMA F

It's quick enough for most rides, but not a pure fastest-possible build. On smoother singletrack, faster-rolling tires and lighter builds show up clearly, and that's what this score reflects. It trends this way because of relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

How it climbs: 8.6/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 16.9 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~77% of them. “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. 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 handling is rated 5/10. It matches “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. Hardtail layout — suspension up front for control, rigid rear for a direct response. This level helps keep traction when the surface is uneven and choppy. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. Based on full geometry data.

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, and Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Net result: Adjustable. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

This scores 6.4/10 for comfort, so it feels easygoing over rough patches 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 is the kind of deal people usually notice quickly. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 70% 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 96% of listings. Quick reference: €405 listed versus about €1.372 for a comparable build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This setup is aimed at fast trail riding on less extreme terrain. It has about 100 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Suspension type (Hardtail) fits this kind of terrain.
