Synonym RC2

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. Compared with trail-speed specialists, this build is shaped by a light setup, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. When you're pedaling, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Uphill performance score: 9.2/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 19.7 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~15% 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. Weight is around 11.4 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. 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.

Suspension performance: 5/10. It’s grouped into “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. Suspension at both ends helps keep wheel tracking steadier when the surface gets rough. It should feel noticeably calmer through repeated bumps and rough patches. Expect steadier tracking on rougher sections without feeling like a long-travel downhill setup.

Sporty fit - more tuck for efficiency, but still manageable for many riders. This is mainly because there's about 81 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 630 mm of forward stretch to the bar (very long). Expect a lean angle around 34 degrees.

So it lands in Moderately Adjustable. What drives the fit flexibility here: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time - The listed seatpost details do not show clear restrictions or extra flexibility signals. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Ride comfort is 7.3/10 — on a real ride it feels easygoing over rough patches. That’s why it’s labeled Comfortable. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~34°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

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 107% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 23% of them. Quick reference: €5.774 listed versus about €2.794 for a comparable build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

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. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
