ASR C2

It tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo. For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. The score is largely shaped by typical trail-width tires and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. When you're pedaling, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

If your rides include hills, it rates 9.0/10 for climbing. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out near the top. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. Your easiest gear lands around 16.6 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~88% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

Suspension score: 6/10. It sits in the “Confident trail control” bucket. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. This is mainly because bar height comes out ~65 mm below the saddle (moderate), with about 614 mm of forward reach - a very long stretch. You'll likely be near 32 degrees of lean.

This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical; Seatpost info looks fairly neutral, so most fit change comes from cockpit choices. Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable.

This scores 7.5/10 for comfort, so it feels comfortable out on the road. So it’s tagged Comfortable overall. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~32°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

It’s hard to see the value at this asking price. 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 99% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 24% of them. To anchor it: price €5.600 versus an estimated €2.815 for a similar build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This bike is best for smoother trails where speed and efficiency matter. It has about 115 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
