Root Miller 2

It's more about stability and usefulness than feeling fast. This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. Key drivers include a fairly average weight, typical trail-width tires, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

If your rides include hills, it rates 9.3/10 for climbing. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 16.9 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~77% for low-gear climbing. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Weight is around 14.8 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. 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 handling is rated 7/10. It matches “High-impact ready”. This level is aimed at repeated impacts and rougher terrain, keeping the bike more settled at speed. Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. Expect stronger control when braking and cornering on rough terrain. Travel means the suspension’s movement range over a bump. On this bike it’s about 150 mm up front and 150 mm at the rear. Generally, more travel helps when hits get bigger or come faster.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. You get this posture because the bar sits about 67 mm below the saddle (a moderate drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 627 mm in total (very long). You'll likely be near 31 degrees of lean. Estimated spacers: ~14 mm.

Fit flexibility summary: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time - A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

This scores 8.2/10 for comfort, so it feels plush out on the road. Within Enduro, Firm basically means 'less plush than the softest builds' even though the ride still feels plush. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~31°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

Compared to similar bikes, this is priced very competitively. 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 parts list, it’s roughly 36% 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 95% of listings. To anchor it: price €2.834 versus an estimated €4.439 for a similar build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

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 Full setup supports this riding style.
