OLYMPUS ENDURO SRAM XX1 Rainbow

It's more about stability and usefulness than feeling fast. On an MTB, the speed score centers on rolling efficiency when you're pedaling, especially on easier terrain. It ends up here thanks to typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load.

If your rides include hills, it rates 7.0/10 for climbing. Within Mountain bikes, it sits above average. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. The easiest gear works out to about 18.2 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~36% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Suspension capability comes out at 8/10. Bucket: “High-impact ready”. That usually means it’s built for harder hits and rougher trails with steadier wheel tracking. Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. On roots and rocks, it should keep the bike calmer through repeated impacts. It’s designed to stay composed when impacts come quickly one after another, especially at higher speeds.

Comfort fit - a relaxed road posture that stays friendly on longer rides. Based on full geometry data.

Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time - The dropper adds a real-world adjustability benefit while riding. That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

This scores 8.5/10 for comfort, so it feels very smooth out on the road. So it’s tagged Comfortable overall. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

The price looks hard to justify versus similar options. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 70% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 9% of them. To anchor it: price €8.933 versus an estimated €5.263 for a similar build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This setup suits steeper, rockier terrain and harder hits. It has about 170 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which helps on rough, technical trails. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
