SCARP EXONIC

On smoother singletrack, faster-rolling tires and lighter builds show up clearly, and that's what this score reflects. The score is largely shaped by a very light build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. These factors stack up and show up most at higher speeds or higher effort.

Climb score: 9.8/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. The easiest gear works out to about 19.0 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~20% 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. At about 9.5 kg, it’s in a normal range, so gearing matters more than weight swings here. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

For bump control, it’s 5/10 — “Confident trail control”. It’s built for clear bump absorption and more reliable wheel control on mixed surfaces. Both ends absorb impacts, improving how consistently the tires can follow rough terrain. It should keep the bike more controlled on mixed surfaces, especially through repeated small-to-medium impacts.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. That's driven by you get a moderate drop: roughly 76 mm from saddle to bar, plus about 615 mm of stretch forward (very long). You'll likely be near 33 degrees of lean.

That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts. At the same time, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts.

Comfort comes out to 6.4/10, which usually translates to a nicely smooth ride. That’s why it’s labeled Firm. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~33°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

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. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
