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, 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.

If your rides include hills, it rates 9.9/10 for climbing. Within Mountain bikes, it sits near the top. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. The easiest gear works out to about 18.0 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~47% for low-gear climbing. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. With roughly 9.7 kg to move uphill, you’ll feel it more as climbs get longer. 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 score: 5/10. It sits in the “Confident trail control” bucket. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. The fork does the smoothing; the rear stays straightforward and efficient. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

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.

Comfort comes out to 6.4/10, which usually translates to a comfortable ride. So it’s tagged Firm overall. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

It’s hard to see the value at this asking price. 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.
