It tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo. For mountain bikes, this is about pedaling and rolling speed on firm trails or hardpack, not downhill confidence. The score is largely shaped by a fairly average weight, typical trail-width tires, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

On steep roads, it comes in at 9.5/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits near the top. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. The easiest gear works out to about 16.9 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~77% of them. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. Weight is around 14.0 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

Suspension sits at 7/10, in “High-impact ready”. It’s designed to stay composed through rough sections and repeated hits. Full suspension means both ends can absorb impacts, helping the wheels track rough ground more consistently. Travel is the available suspension movement when the wheel hits an impact. Here it’s about 140 mm up front and 130 mm at the rear. Bigger travel numbers typically feel calmer when the surface gets rough. This is meant for rougher terrain where repeated impacts demand stable wheel tracking.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. That's driven by bars are around 87 mm lower than the saddle, which is a large drop, and the forward stretch measures around 624 mm (very long). Expect a lean angle around 35 degrees.

Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable. Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width. At the same time, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Comfort comes out to 7.9/10, which usually translates to a highly forgiving ride. So it’s tagged Comfortable overall. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 8/10, torso ~35°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

From a value angle, this comes out as a standout deal. 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 spec estimate, it comes in about 20% under the typical level for similar builds. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 74% of listings. Quick reference: €3.254 listed versus about €4.077 for a comparable build. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This bike is built for everyday trails with a mix of roots, rocks, and turns. It has about 130 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
