Habit HT 2

In MTB terms, the score is mostly about momentum on flats and climbs, rather than jump or drop capability. Several build choices play a role, including typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a capable drivetrain that supports steady speed. When you're pedaling, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Overall on climbs: 7.3/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks above average. On climbs, the lowest gear feels easy. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 18.1 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~46% versus similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. 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.

On the suspension scale, it comes in at 6/10 — “Confident trail control”. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. Front suspension handles most impacts, while the rear wheel tracks the ground directly. On roots and rocks, it should keep the bike calmer through repeated impacts. It should keep the bike more controlled on mixed surfaces, especially through repeated small-to-medium impacts.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. This is an estimate; exact fit varies by spacers and rider setup.

In Mountain / Trail, The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, Because cables are routed internally, adjustments may take more work, and Having a dropper increases how adaptable the bike feels in different situations. So it lands in Moderately Adjustable.

Comfort comes out to 6.6/10, which usually translates to a comfortable ride. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. 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 parts list, it’s roughly 43% 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 87% of listings. To anchor it: price €1.417 versus an estimated €2.469 for a similar build. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This setup suits typical singletrack and varied natural terrain. It has about 130 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. Suspension type (Hardtail) fits this kind of terrain.
