Tempt 4

This off-road speed score leans toward efficient rolling, not downhill stability or comfort. Next to race-leaning setups, this build is shaped by relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly and a capable drivetrain that supports steady speed. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

On steep roads, it comes in at 6.3/10. Within Mountain bikes, it lands around the middle. It’s set up for steady spinning on climbs. Your easiest gear lands around 18.8 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~21% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. 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 capability comes out at 5/10. Bucket: “Confident trail control”. It’s built for clear bump absorption and more reliable wheel control on mixed surfaces. Front suspension handles most impacts, while the rear wheel tracks the ground directly. 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 there's about 26 mm of drop to the bars (very small), with roughly 589 mm of forward stretch to the bar (very long). Expect a lean angle around 26 degrees. Estimated spacers: ~12 mm.

This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, and Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Comfort comes out to 6.4/10, which usually translates to a nicely smooth ride. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. 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). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 68% 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 95% of listings. Quick reference: €532 listed versus about €1.684 for a comparable 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. Suspension type (Hardtail) fits this kind of terrain.
