PBJ Complete

This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. Compared with bikes built for pure pace, this build is shaped by a light setup, typical trail-width tires, and a basic drivetrain spec that prioritizes practicality over outright performance. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Uphill performance score: 1.5/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits near the bottom. For hill work, the easiest gear is very tall. Your easiest gear lands around 56.3 gear inches. This sits at the tough end — easier than only about ~2% 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. Weight is around 11.9 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. 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 setup comes out at 5/10 — “Confident trail control”. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. The fork does the smoothing; the rear stays straightforward and efficient. On choppy terrain, it can help the wheels track more consistently. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. It feels this way because there's about 99 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 599 mm of forward stretch to the bar (very long). Expect a lean angle around 38 degrees.

Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Another point: From the seatpost text provided, there are no strong constraints or bonuses. Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Ride comfort is 5.9/10 — on a real ride it feels balanced. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~38°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

Overall, this feels reasonably priced. 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 estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 15% of them. To anchor it: price €1.999 versus an estimated €1.998 for a similar build. Not every spec detail is consistently published, so think of this as a strong hint rather than the last word. Overall, it sits in the expected range for the category.

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. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
