TRACER S

It prioritizes confidence and everyday riding over outright pace. For mountain bikes, this is about pedaling and rolling speed on firm trails or hardpack, not downhill confidence. The strongest influences are a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. When conditions are smooth, the bike's setup can make speed feel easier - or more costly.

Climbing rating: 9.4/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out near the top. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 15.6 gear inches. It’s about as easy as it gets in its peer group — easier than roughly ~96% of similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. At about 16.8 kg, it’s a heavy build; the low gear matters even more when the slope kicks up. 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.

Overall suspension support: 8/10 (“High-impact ready”). It typically supports higher-speed rough sections where impacts stack up quickly. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. It’s designed to stay composed when impacts come quickly one after another, especially at higher speeds.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. Because bars are around 87 mm lower than the saddle, which is a large drop, and the forward stretch measures around 634 mm (very long). Estimated lean is about 35 degrees.

In Mountain / Enduro, 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, The listed seatpost details do not show clear restrictions or extra flexibility signals, and The dropper adds a real-world adjustability benefit while riding. Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 8.5/10, which usually translates to a plush ride. That’s why it’s labeled Comfortable. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 8/10, torso ~35°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

You’re paying a big premium here versus similar builds. 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 34% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 33% of listings). Quick reference: €7.199 listed versus about €5.362 for a comparable build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This bike is built for rougher, more technical trails where control matters. It has about 170 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
