SCOOP HALF

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. Against lighter, narrower-tire builds, this build is shaped by a fairly average weight, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, small wheels meant for compact bikes, and a capable drivetrain that supports steady speed. When you're pedaling, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

How it climbs: 9.7/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits near the top. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. Your easiest gear lands around 15.9 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~94% versus similar bikes. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. With about 14.4 kg to haul uphill, pacing matters more on longer grades. 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.

For bump control, it’s 1/10 — “Minimal suspension”. That usually means it works best when the surface is smooth and predictable. It’s a rigid setup — efficient and direct, but not designed to absorb bumps. Rough trails will feel more demanding; tire setup matters a lot here. When the surface breaks up, you’ll get more bump transmission and less wheel tracking than with higher scores.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. This is mainly because the cockpit sits 48 mm below the saddle (a moderate drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~506 mm (medium). Expect a lean angle around 32 degrees. Front-end spacers are estimated around 14 mm.

What affects adjustability on this bike: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. Also, A dropper makes it easier to shift between climbing and descending positions. So it lands in Moderately Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 7.3/10, which usually translates to a easygoing over rough patches ride. So it’s tagged Firm overall. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10, torso ~32°), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

This is the kind of deal people usually notice quickly. 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). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 66% 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 97% of listings. Quick reference: €740 listed versus about €2.181 for a comparable build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This bike is built for soft and loose ground where extra tire volume helps. Suspension travel details aren’t available here, so the label follows the category and the rest of the setup. The Rigid setup supports this riding style.
