THRILL HILL 2

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. In day-to-day use, it's quick enough for most rides, but not a pure fastest-possible build. Several build choices play a role, including relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

On steep roads, it comes in at 7.0/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks above average. On climbs, the lowest gear feels easy. Your easiest gear lands around 18.2 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~36% for low-gear climbing. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. 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.

For suspension control, it lands at 6/10. Category: “Confident trail control”. It’s the kind of setup that stays more composed through repeated small-to-medium hits. Both ends absorb impacts, improving how consistently the tires can follow rough terrain. It should feel noticeably calmer through repeated bumps and rough patches. Rough trails should feel more controlled, especially when hits stack up.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. That's driven by bar height comes out ~92 mm below the saddle (large), with about 594 mm of forward reach - a very long stretch. You'll likely be near 36 degrees of lean.

What drives the fit flexibility here: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. At the same time, Having a dropper increases how adaptable the bike feels in different situations. Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 7.4/10 — on a real ride it feels nicely smooth. That’s the reason it lands as Comfortable. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~36°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

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). Based on the spec estimate, it’s about 23% above the typical level for similar builds. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 44% of listings). To anchor it: price €3.149 versus an estimated €2.567 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. The Full setup supports this riding style.
