Sentiero

In mountain-bike land, this is a pedaling-speed measure - how fast it rolls when you're working for it. Compared with bikes built for pure pace, this build is shaped by a light setup, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, and mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum.

Uphill performance score: 4.7/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks around the middle. This setup leans heavily toward ‘push’ rather than ‘spin’ on climbs. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 31.4 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~6% of them. “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 12.2 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. This is happiest on flatter terrain; steep stuff will feel demanding. 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 sits at 5/10, in “Confident trail control”. It’s built for clear bump absorption and more reliable wheel control on mixed surfaces. The fork does the smoothing; the rear stays straightforward and efficient. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. You get this posture because there's about 91 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 609 mm of forward stretch to the bar (very long). Expect a lean angle around 36 degrees.

Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical. At the same time, Standard sizing usually means more aftermarket options for dialing in fit. Net result: Adjustable.

This scores 6.2/10 for comfort, so it feels nicely smooth out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. It’s running about 57 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 loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

This looks like a typical market price for the spec. 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 estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 50% of listings). To anchor it: price €1.889 versus an estimated €1.778 for a similar build. Put simply: you’re paying roughly what similar bikes tend to cost.

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.
