Intrigue LT 2

In MTB terms, the score is mostly about momentum on flats and climbs, rather than jump or drop capability. When you push the pace, it's designed for a mix of riding rather than top-end pace. Several build choices play a role, including relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

How it climbs: 7.9/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out above average. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 17.4 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~58% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. 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 score: 8/10. It sits in the “High-impact ready” bucket. That usually means it’s built for harder hits and rougher trails with steadier wheel tracking. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. It prioritizes stability at speed on rough ground. This level is meant to keep the bike composed when hits are bigger and frequent. This is meant for rougher terrain where repeated impacts demand stable wheel tracking.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. This is mainly because there's about 0 mm of drop to the bars (very small), with roughly 603 mm of forward stretch to the bar (very long). Plan for roughly 20 degrees of lean.

Overall, it is in the Highly Adjustable bucket. Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: 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 - The dropper post improves on-the-fly position changes. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 8.3/10 — on a real ride it feels plush. It’s tagged Balanced for Enduro — it feels plush overall, but it’s on the firmer end compared with the plushest Enduro builds. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

This looks like strong value without any tricky caveats. 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). Based on the spec estimate, it comes in about 25% under the typical level for similar builds. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 91% of listings. To anchor it: price €2.800 versus an estimated €3.728 for a similar build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

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. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
