MC 4.7 Hardtail

It trades speed for comfort, durability, or practicality. This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. The score is largely shaped by a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, and mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum.

Climbing rating: 7.3/10. Within Mountain bikes, it lands above average. It’s set up for steady spinning on climbs. Your easiest gear lands around 19.4 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~16% for low-gear climbing. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. At roughly 15.9 kg, the bike’s heft shows up most on sustained climbs. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. 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 5/10, in “Confident trail control”. It’s built for clear bump absorption and more reliable wheel control on mixed surfaces. Front suspension handles most impacts, while the rear wheel tracks the ground directly. Suspension measurements aren’t always listed consistently, so this description uses the suspension layout and common setups for this type of bike. It should keep the bike more controlled on mixed surfaces, especially through repeated small-to-medium impacts.

Comfort fit - comfort-leaning without feeling sluggish. This is mainly because the front end is very small, with ~19 mm of saddle-to-bar drop, with a long stretch forward at ~567 mm. Expect a lean angle around 25 degrees.

Overall, it falls into Adjustable. This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, and A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

This scores 6.0/10 for comfort, so it feels balanced out on the road. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. It’s running about 54 mm tires on 27.5" wheels, and the tires help take the sting out of smaller impacts on roots, rocks, braking bumps, and repeated hits. The posture is more upright (posture 4/10), which takes some pressure off your hands on rough sections.

This looks like a great buy for the spec on paper. 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 38% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 69% of listings. Quick reference: €793 listed versus about €1.279 for a comparable 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 100 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. The Hardtail setup supports this riding style.
