JEALOUS AL 6.0

It lands in the middle: capable pace, but not optimized for outright speed. This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. A few practical factors stand out: a fairly average weight, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

Uphill performance score: 9.1/10. Within Mountain bikes, it lands near the top. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. The easiest gear works out to about 18.6 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~24% versus similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. With about 13.2 kg to haul uphill, pacing matters more on longer grades. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Overall suspension support: 5/10 (“Confident trail control”). It’s the kind of setup that stays more composed through repeated small-to-medium hits. You get suspension movement at the front, while the rear stays firm and direct. When exact travel numbers aren’t available, we base this on the suspension layout and what’s typical for similar builds. Expect steadier tracking on rougher sections without feeling like a long-travel downhill setup.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. Based on full geometry data.

That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Main reasons for the fit flexibility result: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts; From the seatpost text provided, there are no strong constraints or bonuses. 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 comfortable. So it’s tagged Balanced overall. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

This looks like strong value without any tricky caveats. 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). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 38% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 69% of listings. To anchor it: price €1.058 versus an estimated €1.715 for a similar build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

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.
