Tyaughton Steel GX

It's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed. In mountain-bike land, this is a pedaling-speed measure - how fast it rolls when you're working for it. What pushes it in this direction is typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

On steep roads, it comes in at 7.0/10. Within Mountain bikes, it lands above average. It’s set up for steady spinning on climbs. That lowest gear comes out around 18.2 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~36% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

For bump control, it’s 7/10 — “High-impact ready”. It’s designed to stay composed through rough sections and repeated hits. The fork does the smoothing; the rear stays straightforward and efficient. Suspension measurements aren’t always listed consistently, so this description uses the suspension layout and common setups for this type of bike. This is meant for rougher terrain where repeated impacts demand stable wheel tracking.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. Because the bar sits about 31 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 651 mm in total (extreme). Plan for roughly 26 degrees of lean.

A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width. Also, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. So it lands in Moderately Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 6.6/10 — on a real ride it feels easygoing over rough patches. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

This sits around the normal range for similar bikes. 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 spec estimate, it’s about 12% above the typical level for similar builds. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 51% of listings). To anchor it: price €3.899 versus an estimated €3.472 for a similar build. Put simply: you’re paying roughly what similar bikes tend to cost.

This setup suits steeper, rockier terrain and harder hits. It has about 150 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. The Hardtail setup supports this riding style.
