REACTION PRO

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. The setup that matters most here is a fairly average weight, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. When you're pedaling, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground. Put simply, it's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits.

Climbing rating: 9.6/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 16.9 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~77% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. With about 13.5 kg to haul uphill, pacing matters more on longer grades. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. 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 sits at 5/10, in “Confident trail control”. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. The fork does the smoothing; the rear stays straightforward and efficient. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. Because the cockpit sits 34 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~587 mm (very long). You'll likely be near 27 degrees of lean.

This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, Because cables are routed internally, adjustments may take more work. Another point: The listed seatpost details do not show clear restrictions or extra flexibility signals. So we classify it as Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

This scores 6.4/10 for comfort, so it feels easygoing over rough patches out on the road. That’s why it’s labeled Balanced. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. 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 45% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 79% of listings. To anchor it: price €1.058 versus an estimated €1.934 for a similar 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.
