Stitched CFR Trial

It lands in the middle: capable pace, but not optimized for outright speed. For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. Most of the story comes from a very light build, a lighter-feeling build that helps when you're pedaling for speed, typical trail-width tires, and small wheels meant for compact bikes.

If your rides include hills, it rates 9.9/10 for climbing. Within Mountain bikes, it lands near the top. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. 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. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Weight is around 9.9 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. 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.

Suspension rating is 1/10 — “Minimal suspension”. It prioritizes direct feel and response over bump absorption. There’s no active suspension here, so the wheels follow the surface directly. You’ll notice more vibration and sharp hits on broken surfaces. Line choice matters more because the bike won’t smooth mistakes for you. When the surface breaks up, you’ll get more bump transmission and less wheel tracking than with higher scores.

Sporty fit - more tuck for efficiency, but still manageable for many riders. This is mainly because the front end is large, with ~113 mm of saddle-to-bar drop, with a very long stretch forward at ~623 mm. You'll likely be near 40 degrees of lean. Front-end spacers are estimated around 10 mm.

So it lands in Moderately Adjustable. This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. Plus, The listed seatpost details do not show clear restrictions or extra flexibility signals. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 5.8/10 — on a real ride it feels balanced. That’s why it’s labeled Race-Stiff. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 8/10, torso ~40°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

This is priced well above what we’d usually expect for a similar setup. 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 27% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 5% of them. Quick reference: €3.149 listed versus about €2.477 for a comparable build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

This bike is made for very rough terrain, big hits, and bike-park riding. Suspension travel details aren’t available here, so the label follows the category and the rest of the setup. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
