This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. That's why it's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. Key drivers include a fairly average weight, 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.

On steep roads, it comes in at 9.7/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits near the top. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 16.9 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~77% for low-gear climbing. “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. Weight is around 12.8 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

On suspension support it’s 6/10, marked “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. Both ends absorb impacts, improving how consistently the tires can follow rough terrain. 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. You get this posture because you get a moderate drop: roughly 58 mm from saddle to bar, plus about 614 mm of stretch forward (very long). Expect a lean angle around 31 degrees.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, Hidden cables usually add a little friction when you swap bars or stems. At the same time, A dropper makes it easier to shift between climbing and descending positions. Net result: Moderately Adjustable.

Ride comfort is 7.5/10 — on a real ride it feels nicely smooth. That’s why it’s labeled Comfortable. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~31°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

It’s hard to see the value at this asking price. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 50% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 37% of listings). Quick reference: €3.465 listed versus about €2.306 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This bike is best for smoother trails where speed and efficiency matter. It has about 110 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
