SB160 T2

It's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. What pushes it in this direction is typical trail-width tires and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

On steep roads, it comes in at 9.6/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. Your easiest gear lands around 15.6 gear inches. For the low gear, it’s right at the easy end — easier than about ~96% of similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

For bump control, it’s 8/10 — “High-impact ready”. That usually means it’s built for harder hits and rougher trails with steadier wheel tracking. Suspension at both ends helps keep wheel tracking steadier when the surface gets rough. Some brands don’t publish full suspension measurements, so this summary follows the suspension layout and typical builds for this style. 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. It feels this way because bars are around 88 mm lower than the saddle, which is a large drop, and the forward stretch measures around 654 mm (extreme). Plan for roughly 35 degrees of lean.

Net result: Moderately Adjustable. What affects adjustability on this bike: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width. Another point: Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability.

Ride comfort is 8.4/10 — on a real ride it feels very smooth. It’s tagged Balanced for Enduro — it feels very smooth overall, but it’s on the firmer end compared with the plushest Enduro builds. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 8/10, torso ~35°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

This looks expensive compared with similar bikes. 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 39% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 29% of listings). Quick reference: €7.900 listed versus about €5.677 for a comparable 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. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
