Pique Advanced 29 3

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. The biggest contributors are typical trail-width tires and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. It's the combination that matters: weight, rolling resistance, and (for road) aerodynamics. 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 ranks near the top. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 15.9 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~94% 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. 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.

On the suspension scale, it comes in at 6/10 — “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.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. That's driven by the cockpit sits 19 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~561 mm (long). Plan for roughly 25 degrees of lean.

Fit flexibility summary: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Also, The dropper post improves on-the-fly position changes. So we classify it as Adjustable. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

This scores 7.5/10 for comfort, so it feels easygoing over rough patches out on the road. So it’s tagged Comfortable overall. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

The price looks hard to justify versus similar options. 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 69% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 32% of listings). To anchor it: price €4.800 versus an estimated €2.847 for a similar build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This bike is best for smoother trails where speed and efficiency matter. It has about 115 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
