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 a light setup, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Climb score: 9.7/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out near the top. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. The easiest gear works out to about 16.9 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~77% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Weight is around 12.3 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

Suspension setup comes out at 6/10 — “Confident trail control”. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. Suspension at both ends helps keep wheel tracking steadier when the surface gets rough. It should feel noticeably calmer through repeated bumps and rough patches. Expect more grip and stability compared with basic bump-control setups.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. That's driven by bar height comes out ~95 mm below the saddle (large), with about 604 mm of forward reach - a very long stretch. You'll likely be near 37 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.

Comfort comes out to 7.4/10, which usually translates to a nicely smooth ride. So it’s tagged Comfortable overall. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 8/10, torso ~37°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

You may be paying a premium here. 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 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 45% of listings). Quick reference: €3.149 listed versus about €2.567 for a comparable build. Overall, it doesn’t look like the best value for the spec.

This setup is aimed at fast trail riding on less extreme terrain. It has about 100 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. The Full setup supports this riding style.
