Suspension performance: 8/10. It’s grouped into “High-impact ready”. It typically supports higher-speed rough sections where impacts stack up quickly. 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 is meant for rougher terrain where repeated impacts demand stable wheel tracking.

Sporty fit - more tuck for efficiency, but still manageable for many riders. You get this posture because handlebar height is roughly 40 mm lower than the saddle (very small drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 662 mm (extreme).
