Myst Team

For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. What pushes it in this direction is typical trail-width tires and a capable drivetrain that supports steady speed. Overall, those details affect how quickly it accelerates and how easily it maintains pace. In real riding, it tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo.

Overall on climbs: 1.2/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out near the bottom. The lowest gear is very tall when the road tilts up. Your easiest gear lands around 38.9 gear inches. This sits at the tough end — easier than only about ~2% of similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. 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.

Suspension performance: 10/10. It’s grouped into “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. On roots and rocks, it should keep the bike calmer through repeated impacts. This is the kind of setup built to stay composed through fast, repeated big impacts.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. This is mainly because bars are around 57 mm lower than the saddle, which is a moderate drop, and the forward stretch measures around 654 mm (extreme). Expect a lean angle around 30 degrees.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability. Another point: Internal routing looks tidy but can make cockpit changes a bit more fiddly. Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable.

Comfort comes out to 8.8/10, which usually translates to a plush ride. That’s the reason it lands as Comfortable. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 8/10, torso ~30°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

The price looks hard to justify versus similar options. 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 42% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 31% of listings). To anchor it: price €6.865 versus an estimated €4.837 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 211 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.
