Fuzz 27.5

For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. This means it's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. Key drivers include a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum.

If your rides include hills, it rates 3.9/10 for climbing. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks below average. This setup leans heavily toward ‘push’ rather than ‘spin’ on climbs. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 30.9 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~6% versus similar bikes. “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. With roughly 17.5 kg under you, you’ll feel the weight on longer climbs even with a decent low gear. On proper hills, you’ll feel it — this setup isn’t built to make climbing effortless. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

Suspension sits at 10/10, in “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. It’s intended for the roughest use cases, where suspension control is critical. Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. This is the kind of setup built to stay composed through fast, repeated big impacts.

Sporty fit - more tuck for efficiency, but still manageable for many riders. That's driven by you get a large drop: roughly 87 mm from saddle to bar, plus about 629 mm of stretch forward (very long). You'll likely be near 35 degrees of lean.

Fit flexibility summary: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Another point: Seatpost info looks fairly neutral, so most fit change comes from cockpit choices. So we classify it as Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 8.6/10 — on a real ride it feels plush. It’s tagged Balanced for Downhill — it feels plush overall, but it’s on the firmer end compared with the plushest Downhill builds. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~35°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

This doesn’t look like the best deal once you compare it to similar builds. 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 21% above the typical level for similar builds. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 36% of listings). Quick reference: €5.039 listed versus about €4.159 for a comparable build. Overall, it doesn’t look like the best value for the spec.

This bike is made for very rough terrain, big hits, and bike-park riding. It has about 203 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which is useful for big hits and steeper descents. The Full setup supports this riding style.
