Grand 7

This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. Put simply, it tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo. The score is largely shaped by a fairly average weight, typical trail-width tires, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. When you're pedaling, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Climb score: 9.7/10. Within Mountain bikes, it lands near the top. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. The easiest gear works out to about 16.2 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~92% for low-gear climbing. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Weight is around 14.1 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. 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.

Suspension score: 6/10. It sits in the “Confident trail control” bucket. It’s built for clear bump absorption and more reliable wheel control on mixed surfaces. It’s a hardtail setup: the fork manages impacts up front, while the rear stays rigid and direct. Travel is the available suspension movement when the wheel hits an impact. Here it’s about 120 mm up front. Bigger travel numbers typically feel calmer when the surface gets rough. Expect steadier tracking on rougher sections without feeling like a long-travel downhill setup.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. That's driven by handlebar height is roughly 86 mm lower than the saddle (large drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 604 mm (very long). Expect a lean angle around 36 degrees.

Overall, it falls into Adjustable. Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability, Seatpost info looks fairly neutral, so most fit change comes from cockpit choices. Plus, The dropper post improves on-the-fly position changes. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

This scores 6.6/10 for comfort, so it feels nicely smooth out on the road. That’s why it’s labeled Firm. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~36°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

This looks like a great buy for the spec on paper. 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 49% 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 91% of listings. To anchor it: price €1.364 versus an estimated €2.659 for a similar build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This bike is best for smoother trails where speed and efficiency matter. It has about 120 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Even though it’s tagged Trail, the setup fits Flow Trails better.
