It's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed. In mountain-bike land, this is a pedaling-speed measure - how fast it rolls when you're working for it. The biggest contributors are 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.

Climb score: 9.0/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. Your easiest gear lands around 16.6 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~88% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. 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 score: 5/10. It sits in the “Confident trail control” bucket. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. Suspension at both ends helps keep wheel tracking steadier when the surface gets rough. Expect steadier tracking on rougher sections without feeling like a long-travel downhill setup.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. That's driven by the cockpit sits 62 mm below the saddle (a moderate drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~658 mm (extreme). You'll likely be near 31 degrees of lean. Front-end spacers are estimated around 11 mm.

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. Also, A round post makes fit changes simpler than proprietary shapes. Overall, it falls into Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 7.3/10, which usually translates to a nicely smooth ride. That’s why it’s labeled Comfortable. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 8/10, torso ~31°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

You’re paying a big premium here versus similar builds. 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 112% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 20% of them. Quick reference: €6.089 listed versus about €2.869 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This bike is best for smoother trails where speed and efficiency matter. It has about 100 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. The Full setup supports this riding style.
