V10 DH X01 / Carbon CC

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. Over longer efforts, it trades speed for comfort, durability, or practicality. The score is largely shaped by a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load.

If your rides include hills, it rates 2.9/10 for climbing. Within Mountain bikes, it lands below average. On steep gradients, you’ll be grinding more than spinning. Your easiest gear lands around 37.3 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. Weight is around 16.1 kg — on steep, slow climbs that extra mass becomes more noticeable. This is happiest on flatter terrain; steep stuff will feel demanding. 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.

Suspension capability comes out at 10/10. Bucket: “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. It’s intended for the roughest use cases, where suspension control is critical. Full suspension means both ends can absorb impacts, helping the wheels track rough ground more consistently. It’s tuned for steep, rough terrain where keeping the wheels tracking under hard hits is the priority.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. Because you get a very small drop: roughly 14 mm from saddle to bar, plus about 625 mm of stretch forward (very long). Estimated lean is about 23 degrees.

What drives the fit flexibility here: 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; Seatpost details do not strongly point to a very locked-in or very flexible system. Overall, it falls into Adjustable. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Ride comfort is 8.8/10 — on a real ride it feels highly forgiving. That’s the reason it lands as Comfortable. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

The price looks hard to justify versus similar options. 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 85% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 8% of them. To anchor it: price €10.185 versus an estimated €5.514 for a similar build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This setup is built to handle steep lines and heavy impacts. It has about 208 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which is useful for big hits and steeper descents. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
