Aluminum Mountain Bike With SHIMANO Altus 27 Speed

In MTB terms, the score is mostly about momentum on flats and climbs, rather than jump or drop capability. As a result, it prioritizes confidence and everyday riding over outright pace.

Uphill performance score: 8.2/10. Within Mountain bikes, it lands above average. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. Your easiest gear lands around 17.3 gear inches.
