JEALOUS 8.0

For mountain bikes, this is about pedaling and rolling speed on firm trails or hardpack, not downhill confidence. A few practical factors stand out: a very light build, a lighter-feeling build that helps when you're pedaling for speed, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Climb score: 9.9/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits near the top. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. That lowest gear comes out around 17.7 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~57% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. With roughly 9.9 kg to move uphill, you’ll feel it more as climbs get longer. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. 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 5/10. That aligns with “Confident trail control”. It’s the kind of setup that stays more composed through repeated small-to-medium hits. It’s a common compromise: calmer front wheel, efficient rear end. Expect more grip and stability compared with basic bump-control setups. It should keep the bike more controlled on mixed surfaces, especially through repeated small-to-medium impacts.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. Some measurements were missing, so part of this is estimated.

In Mountain / Crosscountry, A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts - The listed seatpost details do not show clear restrictions or extra flexibility signals. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

This scores 6.4/10 for comfort, so it feels comfortable out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Firm. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

You may be paying a premium here. 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 33% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 42% of listings). To anchor it: price €3.149 versus an estimated €2.370 for a similar build. Overall, it doesn’t look like the best value for the spec.

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. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
