SUPREME DH V5 RIDE NEW ROCKSHOX

On trails, this rating is about rolling speed and momentum, not suspension feel or handling sharpness. Against lighter, narrower-tire builds, this build is shaped by a very light build, a lighter-feeling build that helps when you're pedaling for speed, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. In day-to-day use, it's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits.

Overall on climbs: 7.9/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits above average. This setup leans heavily toward ‘push’ rather than ‘spin’ on climbs. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 32.8 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~5% 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 5.4 kg, so it won’t feel overly stubborn on long climbs. On proper hills, you’ll feel it — this setup isn’t built to make climbing effortless. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

For suspension control, it lands at 10/10. Category: “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. It’s designed for aggressive rough-terrain use where hits are large and frequent. Suspension at both ends helps keep wheel tracking steadier when the surface gets rough. This level is meant for the most demanding roughness, staying stable through repeated big impacts.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. Because there's about 82 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 641 mm of forward stretch to the bar (extreme). Plan for roughly 34 degrees of lean.

That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time - Standard sizing usually means more aftermarket options for dialing in fit.

Comfort comes out to 8.6/10, which usually translates to a very smooth ride. It’s tagged Balanced for Downhill — it feels very smooth overall, but it’s on the firmer end compared with the plushest Downhill builds. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~34°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

Against comparable bikes, this comes out looking overpriced. 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 47% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 26% of listings). Quick reference: €6.456 listed versus about €4.401 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This bike is made for very rough terrain, big hits, and bike-park riding. It has about 220 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.
