Endorphin GX MX29

For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. Compared with comfort-biased setups, this build is shaped by typical trail-width tires and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. When you're pedaling, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground. This means it prioritizes confidence and everyday riding over outright pace.

If your rides include hills, it rates 9.4/10 for climbing. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out near the top. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. That lowest gear comes out around 15.9 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~94% for low-gear climbing. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

Suspension rating is 7/10 — “High-impact ready”. This level is aimed at repeated impacts and rougher terrain, keeping the bike more settled at speed. Both ends absorb impacts, improving how consistently the tires can follow rough terrain. It’s designed to stay composed when impacts come quickly one after another, especially at higher speeds.

Sporty fit - more tuck for efficiency, but still manageable for many riders. It feels this way because handlebar height is roughly 88 mm lower than the saddle (large drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 622 mm (very long). Estimated lean is about 35 degrees.

What affects adjustability on this bike: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. At the same time, Seatpost info looks fairly neutral, so most fit change comes from cockpit choices. Net result: Moderately Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 7.9/10, which usually translates to a very smooth ride. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. 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.

Against comparable bikes, this comes out looking overpriced. 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 50% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 20% of them. Quick reference: €5.299 listed versus about €3.522 for a comparable build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

This bike is built for rougher, more technical trails where control matters. It has about 150 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. The Full setup supports this riding style.
