Demo Race

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. 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. When you're pedaling, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Uphill performance score: 2.4/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits below average. On steep gradients, you’ll be grinding more than spinning. The easiest gear works out to about 41.1 gear inches. Most comparable bikes have an easier low gear; this is easier than only about ~2% 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. At about 17.5 kg, it’s a heavy build; the low gear matters even more when the slope kicks up. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Suspension effectiveness is 10/10. That aligns with “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. This level targets big hits and very rough trails, prioritizing stability under repeated impacts. Both ends absorb impacts, improving how consistently the tires can follow rough terrain. This is maximum composure territory: traction and control are the goal. This level is meant for the most demanding roughness, staying stable through repeated big impacts.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. You get this posture because there's about 15 mm of drop to the bars (very small), with roughly 609 mm of forward stretch to the bar (very long). Plan for roughly 24 degrees of lean.

Overall, it falls into Adjustable. What drives the fit flexibility here: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, Hidden cables usually add a little friction when you swap bars or stems. At the same time, Adjustable geometry gives extra options beyond just contact points. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

This scores 8.7/10 for comfort, so it feels very smooth out on the road. Within Downhill, Balanced basically means 'less plush than the softest builds' even though the ride still feels very smooth. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

It’s hard to see the value at this asking price. 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 55% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 15% of them. Quick reference: €7.100 listed versus about €4.595 for a comparable build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

This bike is made for very rough terrain, big hits, and bike-park riding. It has about 200 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.
