Synergy Fat

In mountain-bike land, this is a pedaling-speed measure - how fast it rolls when you're working for it. Compared with more speed-first builds, this build is shaped by a fairly average weight, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Uphill performance score: 9.4/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. The easiest gear works out to about 16.6 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~88% for low-gear climbing. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. With about 14.8 kg to haul uphill, pacing matters more on longer grades. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. 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 6/10 — “Confident trail control”. It’s built for clear bump absorption and more reliable wheel control on mixed surfaces. Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. It should feel noticeably calmer through repeated bumps and rough patches. Expect steadier tracking on rougher sections without feeling like a long-travel downhill setup.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. It feels this way because there's about 52 mm of drop to the bars (moderate), with roughly 596 mm of forward stretch to the bar (very long). Plan for roughly 30 degrees of lean. Estimated spacers: ~16 mm.

Net result: Adjustable. This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward. Another point: A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 7.2/10 — on a real ride it feels comfortable. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~30°), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

The price feels a touch strong for the parts listed. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the spec estimate, it’s about 23% above the typical level for similar builds. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 34% of listings). To anchor it: price €3.884 versus an estimated €3.151 for a similar build. Overall, it doesn’t look like the best value for the spec.

This setup is designed to stay stable and grippy on softer surfaces. The tires are about 4.7 in, which helps it float and find grip on soft ground (like sand, snow, or deep mud). The Full setup supports this riding style.
