Moab 3

For mountain riding, it captures how the bike carries speed when you're pushing the pedals on less technical surfaces. When you push the pace, it's designed for a mix of riding rather than top-end pace. The score is largely shaped by relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

Overall on climbs: 7.4/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out above average. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. That lowest gear comes out around 18.0 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~47% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

Suspension score: 5/10. It sits in the “Confident trail control” bucket. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. Front suspension handles most impacts, while the rear wheel tracks the ground directly. It should keep the bike more controlled on mixed surfaces, especially through repeated small-to-medium impacts.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. That's driven by there's about 88 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 593 mm of forward stretch to the bar (very long). You'll likely be near 36 degrees of lean.

This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, Internal routing is a mild hit to swap-and-go adjustability. Plus, Standard seatpost sizing improves compatibility for different setbacks and lengths. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket.

Ride comfort is 6.8/10 — on a real ride it feels comfortable. That’s the reason it lands as Comfortable. It’s running about 96 mm tires on 27.5" wheels, and the big tires calm small hits and take the edge off trail chatter on roots, rocks, braking bumps, and repeated hits. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~36°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

This is the kind of deal people usually notice quickly. 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 parts list, it’s roughly 25% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 60% of listings). Quick reference: €949 listed versus about €1.266 for a comparable build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

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. Suspension type (Hardtail) fits this kind of terrain.
