V10 DH S / Carbon CC / MX

On an MTB, the speed score centers on rolling efficiency when you're pedaling, especially on easier terrain. Compared with bikes built for pure pace, this build is shaped by typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Climbing rating: 1.3/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out near the bottom. This setup leans heavily toward ‘push’ rather than ‘spin’ on climbs. That lowest gear comes out around 35.4 gear inches. This sits at the tough end — easier than only about ~3% of similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. This is happiest on flatter terrain; steep stuff will feel demanding. 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.

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. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. It’s built to stay stable through repeated big impacts and rough landings. It’s tuned for steep, rough terrain where keeping the wheels tracking under hard hits is the priority.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. Because bars are around 30 mm lower than the saddle, which is a very small drop, and the forward stretch measures around 612 mm (very long). You'll likely be near 26 degrees of lean.

In Mountain, This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward; Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical. So we classify it as Adjustable. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Ride comfort is 9.2/10 — on a real ride it feels very smooth. That’s the reason it lands as Ultra Smooth. It’s running about 127 mm tires on 27.5" wheels, and the high-volume tires add a lot of damping and grip on roots, rocks, braking bumps, and repeated hits. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

Against comparable bikes, this comes out looking overpriced. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 34% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 28% of listings). To anchor it: price €6.699 versus an estimated €4.982 for a similar build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

This setup is built to handle steep lines and heavy impacts. It has about 215 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.
