This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. In day-to-day use, it's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed. The setup that matters most here is relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum, and a more budget-friendly...

On steep roads, it comes in at 5.8/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out around the middle. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. That lowest gear comes out around 19.4 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~16% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

On suspension support it’s 5/10, marked “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. It’s a common compromise: calmer front wheel, efficient rear end. 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. This is mainly because you get a very small drop: roughly 38 mm from saddle to bar, plus about 608 mm of stretch forward (very long). Estimated lean is about 28 degrees.

Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability. Another point: Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. So it lands in Moderately Adjustable.

This scores 6.2/10 for comfort, so it feels comfortable out on the road. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

This is the kind of deal people usually notice quickly. 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 54% 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 89% of listings. To anchor it: price €699 versus an estimated €1.528 for a similar 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. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
