Amplitude AL Team

For mountain riding, it captures how the bike carries speed when you're pushing the pedals on less technical surfaces. Most of the story comes from typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, smaller wheels that can lose momentum sooner, and a basic drivetrain spec that prioritizes practicality over outright performance.

Climbing rating: 1.0/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out near the bottom. The lowest gear is very tall when the road tilts up. That lowest gear comes out around 69.3 gear inches. This sits at the tough end — easier than only about ~1% of similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. This is happiest on flatter terrain; steep stuff will feel demanding. 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 5/10 — “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. Hardtail layout — suspension up front for control, rigid rear for a direct response. This level helps keep traction when the surface is uneven and choppy. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. You get this posture because the bar sits about 19 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 564 mm in total (long). Expect a lean angle around 25 degrees.

This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time. Also, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. Net result: Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 5.9/10, which usually translates to a balanced ride. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. The posture is more upright (posture 4/10), which keeps things more relaxed, especially on long rides.

Compared to similar bikes, this is priced very competitively. 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). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 43% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 68% of listings. Quick reference: €1.156 listed versus about €2.037 for a comparable build. Some manufacturer details aren’t fully published, so use this as a helpful direction rather than a final verdict. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This bike is made for very rough terrain, big hits, and bike-park riding. 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.
