ELITE CARBON TEAM

It's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed. This off-road speed score leans toward efficient rolling, not downhill stability or comfort. Most of the story comes from typical trail-width tires and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Climbing rating: 7.4/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits above average. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 18.0 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~47% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. 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 setup comes out at 5/10 — “Confident trail control”. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. Front suspension handles most impacts, while the rear wheel tracks the ground directly. It should keep the bike more controlled on mixed surfaces, especially through repeated small-to-medium impacts.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. Some measurements were missing, so part of this is estimated.

In Mountain, Overall, it falls into Adjustable. Why this fit flexibility rating: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability; Seatpost info looks fairly neutral, so most fit change comes from cockpit choices. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Ride comfort is 6.4/10 — on a real ride it feels nicely smooth. That’s the reason it lands as Firm. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

Against comparable bikes, this comes out looking overpriced. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 145% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 12% of them. To anchor it: price €7.369 versus an estimated €3.006 for a similar build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

This bike is best for smoother trails where speed and efficiency matter. It has about 110 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Suspension type (Hardtail) fits this kind of terrain.
