Super Heretic

For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. Compared with bikes built for pure pace, this build is shaped by typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

On steep roads, it comes in at 8.2/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out above average. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 17.3 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~64% of them. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. 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: 8/10, classed as “High-impact ready”. 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. It prioritizes stability at speed on rough ground. 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.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. This is mainly because bars are around 68 mm lower than the saddle, which is a moderate drop, and the forward stretch measures around 607 mm (very long). Plan for roughly 32 degrees of lean. Front-end spacers are estimated around 14 mm.

In Mountain, Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward - The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. So it lands in Moderately Adjustable.

This scores 8.3/10 for comfort, so it feels highly forgiving out on the road. For Enduro, it’s labeled Balanced. In absolute terms it’s highly forgiving; it’s just not as sofa-soft as the most plush setups. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~32°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

This is priced well above what we’d usually expect for a similar setup. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 49% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 20% of them. To anchor it: price €5.799 versus an estimated €3.891 for a similar build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

This bike is built for rougher, more technical trails where control matters. It has about 160 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. The Full setup supports this riding style.
