Scale 910

On trails, this rating is about rolling speed and momentum, not suspension feel or handling sharpness. Over longer efforts, it tends to feel lively when you accelerate or surge. It trends this way because of a light setup, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

If your rides include hills, it rates 9.6/10 for climbing. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. That lowest gear comes out around 18.6 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~24% for low-gear climbing. 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 11.2 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. 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 rating is 5/10 — “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. Hardtail layout — suspension up front for control, rigid rear for a direct response. This level helps keep traction when the surface is uneven and choppy. On choppy terrain, it can help the wheels track more consistently. Not every manufacturer lists complete suspension numbers, so the explanation relies on the suspension layout and what’s normal for this category.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. It feels this way because bar height comes out ~55 mm below the saddle (moderate), with about 629 mm of forward reach - a very long stretch. Plan for roughly 30 degrees of lean.

In Mountain, Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts - From the seatpost text provided, there are no strong constraints or bonuses. So it lands in Moderately Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 6.4/10 — on a real ride it feels easygoing over rough patches. That’s why it’s labeled Balanced. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~30°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

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 45% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 39% of listings). Quick reference: €3.744 listed versus about €2.576 for a comparable build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

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. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
