LES SL Pro X01 w/ Carbon Wheels

It prioritizes confidence and everyday riding over outright pace. On an MTB, the speed score centers on rolling efficiency when you're pedaling, especially on easier terrain. Several build choices play a role, including typical trail-width tires and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Uphill performance score: 2.9/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out below average. The lowest gear is very tall when the road tilts up. That lowest gear comes out around 27.8 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~9% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

For suspension control, it lands at 5/10. Category: “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. You get suspension movement at the front, while the rear stays firm and direct. Rough trails should feel more controlled, especially when hits stack up. Expect steadier tracking on rougher sections without feeling like a long-travel downhill setup.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. Because bar height comes out ~64 mm below the saddle (moderate), with about 614 mm of forward reach - a very long stretch. Expect a lean angle around 31 degrees.

Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable. Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical; Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Comfort comes out to 6.4/10, which usually translates to a easygoing over rough patches ride. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~31°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

This looks expensive compared with similar bikes. 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 181% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 7% of them. Quick reference: €8.242 listed versus about €2.932 for a comparable build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

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.
