LYNX RACE 9.9

It's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed. On trails, this rating is about rolling speed and momentum, not suspension feel or handling sharpness. Key drivers include typical trail-width tires and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Overall on climbs: 9.0/10. Within Mountain bikes, it lands near the top. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. Your easiest gear lands around 16.6 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~88% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. 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.

For suspension control, it lands at 6/10. Category: “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. Expect more grip and stability compared with basic bump-control setups. It should keep the bike more controlled on mixed surfaces, especially through repeated small-to-medium impacts.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. Some measurements were missing, so part of this is estimated.

Net result: Moderately Adjustable. Why this fit flexibility rating: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts - Headset-style internal routing makes front-end changes more time-consuming.

This scores 7.3/10 for comfort, so it feels comfortable out on the road. Within Trail, Firm basically means 'less plush than the softest builds' even though the ride still feels comfortable. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

You’re paying a big premium here versus similar builds. 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 296% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 0% of them. Quick reference: €12.600 listed versus about €3.184 for a comparable build. Some manufacturer details aren’t fully published, so use this as a helpful direction rather than a final verdict. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This setup suits typical singletrack and varied natural terrain. It has about 120 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. Suspension type (Full, Electronic) fits this kind of terrain.
