JEALOUS 9.0

It's built to carry momentum with less wasted effort. This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. Key drivers include a very light build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Overall on climbs: 9.7/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits near the top. It’s set up for steady spinning on climbs. That lowest gear comes out around 19.3 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~18% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. At about 9.6 kg, it’s in a normal range, so gearing matters more than weight swings here. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. 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.

On suspension support it’s 5/10, marked “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. 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. Some measurements were missing, so part of this is estimated.

Why this fit flexibility rating: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier - From the seatpost text provided, there are no strong constraints or bonuses. Overall, it falls into Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 6.5/10 — on a real ride it feels easygoing over rough patches. That’s why it’s labeled Balanced. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

Against comparable bikes, this comes out looking overpriced. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 39% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 40% of listings). Quick reference: €3.569 listed versus about €2.570 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. The Hardtail setup supports this riding style.
