Stoic 4

This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. The setup that matters most here is a heavier build, 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. In real riding, it's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed.

On steep roads, it comes in at 9.6/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. That lowest gear comes out around 15.9 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~94% 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. With about 15.0 kg to haul uphill, pacing matters more on longer grades. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

On suspension support it’s 7/10, marked “High-impact ready”. It typically supports higher-speed rough sections where impacts stack up quickly. You get suspension movement at the front, while the rear stays firm and direct. This level is meant to keep the bike composed when hits are bigger and frequent. Suspension travel is the amount of movement available over bumps — here it’s about 140 mm up front. More travel usually means more room to absorb bigger hits.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. You get this posture because bars are around 89 mm lower than the saddle, which is a large drop, and the forward stretch measures around 612 mm (very long). You'll likely be near 36 degrees of lean.

In Mountain / Trail, So we classify it as Adjustable. What affects adjustability on this bike: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical; From the seatpost text provided, there are no strong constraints or bonuses. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 6.4/10 — on a real ride it feels comfortable. So it’s tagged Race-Stiff overall. It’s running about 60 mm tires on 27.5" wheels, and the big tires calm small hits and take the edge off trail chatter on roots, rocks, braking bumps, and repeated hits. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 8/10, torso ~36°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

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 37% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 84% of listings. To anchor it: price €1.889 versus an estimated €2.984 for a similar build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This bike is built for everyday trails with a mix of roots, rocks, and turns. It has about 140 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. The Hardtail setup supports this riding style.
