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, and a capable drivetrain that supports steady speed. When you're pedaling, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Uphill performance score: 9.7/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits near the top. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. Your easiest gear lands around 15.9 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~94% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. At roughly 14.4 kg, the bike’s heft shows up most on sustained climbs. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

Suspension rating is 1/10 — “Minimal suspension”. It prioritizes direct feel and response over bump absorption. It relies on a rigid structure rather than suspension movement to manage impacts. Expect a firmer ride feel, especially on repeated small bumps. 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 46 mm below the saddle (a moderate drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~508 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.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. 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 98% of listings. To anchor it: price €740 versus an estimated €2.181 for a similar build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

This setup is designed to stay stable and grippy on softer surfaces. Suspension travel details aren’t available here, so the label follows the category and the rest of the setup. Suspension type (Rigid) fits this kind of terrain.
