Scale 925

On an MTB, the speed score centers on rolling efficiency when you're pedaling, especially on easier terrain. Compared with bikes built for pure pace, this build is shaped by a light setup, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

If your rides include hills, it rates 9.8/10 for climbing. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. The easiest gear works out to about 16.9 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~77% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. At roughly 11.7 kg, the bike’s heft shows up most on sustained climbs. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

For suspension control, it lands at 5/10. Category: “Confident trail control”. It’s the kind of setup that stays more composed through repeated small-to-medium hits. It’s a common compromise: calmer front wheel, efficient rear end. Expect more grip and stability compared with basic bump-control setups. It should keep the bike more controlled on mixed surfaces, especially through repeated small-to-medium impacts.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. That's driven by the bar sits about 62 mm below the saddle (a moderate drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 622 mm in total (very long). Plan for roughly 31 degrees of lean.

In Mountain, Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability; The listed seatpost details do not show clear restrictions or extra flexibility signals. Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

This scores 6.4/10 for comfort, so it feels easygoing over rough patches out on the road. So it’s tagged Balanced overall. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~31°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

This looks like a typical market price for the spec. 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 8% above the typical level for similar builds. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 49% of listings). To anchor it: price €2.519 versus an estimated €2.327 for a similar build. Overall, it sits in the expected range for the category.

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. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
