ONE-SIXTY 500

On an MTB, the speed score centers on rolling efficiency when you're pedaling, especially on easier terrain. In comparison with more aero-focused bikes, this build is shaped by a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. That's why it trades speed for comfort, durability, or practicality.

On steep roads, it comes in at 8.4/10. Within Mountain bikes, it lands above average. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. That lowest gear comes out around 16.9 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~77% for low-gear climbing. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Weight is around 17.2 kg — on steep, slow climbs that extra mass becomes more noticeable. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

Suspension capability comes out at 9/10. Bucket: “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. It’s intended for the roughest use cases, where suspension control is critical. Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. It’s tuned for steep, rough terrain where keeping the wheels tracking under hard hits is the priority.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. It feels this way because bar height comes out ~90 mm below the saddle (large), with about 639 mm of forward reach - a very long stretch. Plan for roughly 35 degrees of lean. Front-end spacers are estimated around 13 mm.

Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability, and The listed seatpost details do not show clear restrictions or extra flexibility signals. That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable.

Ride comfort is 8.5/10 — on a real ride it feels very smooth. 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.

This is the kind of deal people usually notice quickly. 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 parts list, it’s roughly 39% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 96% of listings. To anchor it: price €2.398 versus an estimated €3.927 for a similar build. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This setup suits steeper, rockier terrain and harder hits. It has about 171 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. The Full setup supports this riding style.
