Sabbath 1S

It trades speed for comfort, durability, or practicality. In MTB terms, the score is mostly about momentum on flats and climbs, rather than jump or drop capability. The setup that matters most here is typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, smaller wheels that can lose momentum sooner, and a capable drivetrain that supports steady speed.

On steep roads, it comes in at 9.7/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out near the top. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. That lowest gear comes out around 15.3 gear inches. It’s about as easy as it gets in its peer group — easier than roughly ~97% of similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. 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: 5/10, classed as “Confident trail control”. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. It’s a hardtail setup: the fork manages impacts up front, while the rear stays rigid and direct. Expect steadier tracking on rougher sections without feeling like a long-travel downhill setup.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. You get this posture because handlebar height is roughly 77 mm lower than the saddle (moderate drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 581 mm (very long). Estimated lean is about 35 degrees.

In Mountain, This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward. Another point: Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. Net result: Adjustable.

Ride comfort is 5.9/10 — on a real ride it feels balanced. That’s why it’s labeled Balanced. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~35°), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

You may be paying a premium here. 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). Based on the spec estimate, it’s about 17% above the typical level for similar builds. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 9% of them. Quick reference: €2.299 listed versus about €1.958 for a comparable build. Overall, it doesn’t look like the best value for the spec.

This setup is built to handle steep lines and heavy impacts. It has about 100 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which is useful for big hits and steeper descents. The Hardtail setup supports this riding style.
