TRACER 29 EXPERT

For mountain riding, it captures how the bike carries speed when you're pushing the pedals on less technical surfaces. In practice, it's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. The setup that matters most here is a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Climb score: 9.4/10. Within Mountain bikes, it lands near the top. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. That lowest gear comes out around 15.9 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~94% versus similar bikes. “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. With roughly 16.2 kg under you, you’ll feel the weight on longer climbs even with a decent low gear. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep.

Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. This level is meant to keep the bike composed when hits are bigger and frequent. On rough trails, this level aims to keep the bike settled under braking and cornering through repeated hits.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. Because there's about 39 mm of drop to the bars (very small), with roughly 641 mm of forward stretch to the bar (extreme). You'll likely be near 27 degrees of lean.

Why this fit flexibility rating: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, Internal routing looks tidy but can make cockpit changes a bit more fiddly. Plus, A dropper post adds practical adjustability while riding. Net result: Moderately Adjustable.

This scores 8.5/10 for comfort, so it feels highly forgiving out on the road. That’s why it’s labeled Comfortable. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.
