Lux 1

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. The score is largely shaped by typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. When you're pedaling, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

How it climbs: 2.5/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out below average. This setup leans heavily toward ‘push’ rather than ‘spin’ on climbs. That lowest gear comes out around 29.2 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~7% versus similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. On proper hills, you’ll feel it — this setup isn’t built to make climbing effortless. 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 effectiveness is 4/10. That aligns with “Basic bump control”. It typically helps with chatter and small hits without being built for big impacts. It’s a common compromise: calmer front wheel, efficient rear end. Suspension travel is the amount of movement available over bumps — here it’s about 80 mm up front. More travel usually means more room to absorb bigger hits. It should improve stability on small bumps, but it isn’t meant for big hits or very rough terrain.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. This is mainly because the cockpit sits 109 mm below the saddle (a large drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~582 mm (very long). Expect a lean angle around 40 degrees.

That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier, From the seatpost text provided, there are no strong constraints or bonuses. At the same time, Micro-adjust hardware helps dial in comfort with small changes. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Comfort comes out to 6.2/10, which usually translates to a easygoing over rough patches ride. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~40°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

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 51% 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 86% of listings. Quick reference: €750 listed versus about €1.528 for a comparable build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This bike is best for smoother trails where speed and efficiency matter. It has about 80 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
