COLLOSUS N9

In MTB terms, the score is mostly about momentum on flats and climbs, rather than jump or drop capability. On typical routes, it tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo. Most of the story comes from a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Climbing rating: 7.4/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out above average. It’s set up for steady spinning on climbs. That lowest gear comes out around 18.2 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~36% 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 17.8 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 score: 8/10. It sits in the “High-impact ready” bucket. It’s designed to stay composed through rough sections and repeated hits. Full suspension means both ends can absorb impacts, helping the wheels track rough ground more consistently. Expect stronger control when braking and cornering on rough terrain. It prioritizes stability at speed on rough ground. It’s designed to stay composed when impacts come quickly one after another, especially at higher speeds.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. You get this posture because the bar sits about 12 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 646 mm in total (extreme). Estimated lean is about 23 degrees.

That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical - Seatpost details do not strongly point to a very locked-in or very flexible system.

Ride comfort is 8.5/10 — on a real ride it feels very smooth. That’s the reason it lands as Comfortable. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

From a value angle, this comes out as a standout deal. 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 comes in about 20% 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 87% of listings. Quick reference: €3.499 listed versus about €4.370 for a comparable build. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This bike is made for very rough terrain, big hits, and bike-park riding. It has about 170 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which is useful for big hits and steeper descents. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
