THRILL HILL 5

It leans strongly toward pace compared with similar bikes. For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. It ends up here thanks to relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load.

Overall on climbs: 7.6/10. Within Mountain bikes, it lands above average. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. Your easiest gear lands around 17.8 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~52% of them. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. 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. Suspension at both ends helps keep wheel tracking steadier when the surface gets rough. On roots and rocks, it should keep the bike calmer through repeated impacts. Suspension travel is the amount of movement available over bumps — here it’s about 120 mm up front and 100 mm at the rear. More travel usually means more room to absorb bigger hits.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. That's driven by bar height comes out ~91 mm below the saddle (large), with about 599 mm of forward reach - a very long stretch. You'll likely be near 36 degrees of lean. Estimated spacers: ~11 mm.

That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. What drives the fit flexibility here: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability, and From the seatpost text provided, there are no strong constraints or bonuses.

This scores 7.4/10 for comfort, so it feels easygoing over rough patches out on the road. 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.

For the spec, this is priced well into premium territory. 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 86% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 28% of listings). To anchor it: price €7.035 versus an estimated €3.783 for a similar 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 Full setup supports this riding style.
