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 and a basic drivetrain spec that prioritizes practicality over outright performance. Taken together, those choices reduce wasted energy when you're trying to go fast. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

How it climbs: 1.0/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits near the bottom. The lowest gear is very tall when the road tilts up. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 72.0 gear inches. Most comparable bikes have an easier low gear; this is easier than only about ~1% 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. 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.

For bump control, it’s 5/10 — “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.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. You get this posture because the bar sits about 14 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 569 mm in total (long). Expect a lean angle around 24 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.

This scores 5.9/10 for comfort, so it feels moderately comfortable out on the road. 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.

This is the kind of deal people usually notice quickly. 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. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 58% of listings). To anchor it: price €1.156 versus an estimated €2.037 for a similar build. A few manufacturer details aren’t clearly published, so treat this as a best-effort estimate, not a precise 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.
