JEALOUS AL 10.0

For mountain bikes, this is about pedaling and rolling speed on firm trails or hardpack, not downhill confidence. So overall, it's tuned to feel quick when you push the speed. A few practical factors stand out: a light setup, 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.

How it climbs: 9.7/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out near the top. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. That lowest gear comes out around 18.2 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~36% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. At about 10.7 kg, it’s in a normal range, so gearing matters more than weight swings here. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. 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.

Suspension sits at 5/10, in “Confident trail control”. It’s built for clear bump absorption and more reliable wheel control on mixed surfaces. Front suspension handles most impacts, while the rear wheel tracks the ground directly. On roots and rocks, it should keep the bike calmer through repeated impacts. 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.

Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: 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. Net result: Adjustable. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

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

This looks like a typical market price for the spec. 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 estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 51% of listings). Quick reference: €2.099 listed versus about €2.027 for a comparable build. Bottom line: it’s a normal deal — not amazing, not terrible.

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.
