Pique Advanced 29 2

This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. As a result, it's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed. It ends up here thanks to typical trail-width tires and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

On steep roads, it comes in at 9.4/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits near the top. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. Your easiest gear lands around 15.9 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~94% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

Suspension effectiveness is 6/10. That aligns with “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. Both ends absorb impacts, improving how consistently the tires can follow rough terrain. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. That's driven by the cockpit sits 8 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~589 mm (very long). Expect a lean angle around 23 degrees.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. Plus, Having a dropper increases how adaptable the bike feels in different situations. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket.

Ride comfort is 7.5/10 — on a real ride it feels comfortable. That’s why it’s labeled Comfortable. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

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 51% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 37% of listings). To anchor it: price €4.724 versus an estimated €3.127 for a similar build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This setup is aimed at fast trail riding on less extreme terrain. It has about 115 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. The Full setup supports this riding style.
