SCRUB SC

This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. It trends this way because of a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

If your rides include hills, it rates 2.6/10 for climbing. Within Mountain bikes, it sits below average. The lowest gear is very tall when the road tilts up. Your easiest gear lands around 37.1 gear inches. Most comparable bikes have an easier low gear; this is easier than only about ~3% 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. With roughly 17.9 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. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

On suspension support it’s 9/10, marked “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. It’s designed for aggressive rough-terrain use where hits are large and frequent. Both ends absorb impacts, improving how consistently the tires can follow rough terrain. This level is meant for the most demanding roughness, staying stable through repeated big impacts.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. That's driven by there's about 30 mm of drop to the bars (very small), with roughly 644 mm of forward stretch to the bar (extreme). Plan for roughly 25 degrees of lean. Front-end spacers are estimated around 17 mm.

In Mountain, This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical. Also, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical. That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

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

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. 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 spec estimate, it comes in about 20% under the typical level for similar builds. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 83% of listings. Quick reference: €3.464 listed versus about €4.307 for a comparable build. 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 190 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.
