SKAUT EN Pro

On an MTB, the speed score centers on rolling efficiency when you're pedaling, especially on easier terrain. It trends this way because of typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. All combined, they influence momentum - how hard it is to get moving and how hard it is to keep moving.

Climbing rating: 7.0/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits above average. On climbs, the lowest gear feels easy. Your easiest gear lands around 18.2 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~36% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Suspension performance: 8/10. It’s grouped into “High-impact ready”. It typically supports higher-speed rough sections where impacts stack up quickly. Full suspension means both ends can absorb impacts, helping the wheels track rough ground more consistently. It’s designed to stay composed when impacts come quickly one after another, especially at higher speeds.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. That's driven by there's about 58 mm of drop to the bars (moderate), with roughly 632 mm of forward stretch to the bar (very long). Expect a lean angle around 30 degrees.

So it lands in Moderately Adjustable. This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. Plus, Seatpost info looks fairly neutral, so most fit change comes from cockpit choices. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

This scores 8.4/10 for comfort, so it feels very smooth out on the road. It’s tagged Balanced for Enduro — it feels very smooth overall, but it’s on the firmer end compared with the plushest Enduro builds. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~30°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

Compared to similar bikes, this is priced very competitively. 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). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 40% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 96% of listings. Quick reference: €2.519 listed versus about €4.186 for a comparable build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This setup suits steeper, rockier terrain and harder hits. It has about 160 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
