Minor Threat S2

In mountain-bike land, this is a pedaling-speed measure - how fast it rolls when you're working for it. When stacked up next to faster-rolling setups, this build is shaped by a fairly average weight, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and small wheels meant for compact bikes. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

How it climbs: 9.5/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. That lowest gear comes out around 16.9 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~77% of them. 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 13.6 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. 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.

On the suspension scale, it comes in at 7/10 — “High-impact ready”. That usually means it’s built for harder hits and rougher trails with steadier wheel tracking. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. On choppy terrain, it can help the wheels track more consistently. This is meant for rougher terrain where repeated impacts demand stable wheel tracking.

Comfort fit - less tuck and easier on neck and shoulders. You get this posture because bar height comes out ~0 mm below the saddle (very small), with about 561 mm of forward reach - a long stretch. Estimated lean is about 20 degrees.

Overall, it falls into Adjustable. This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, and A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier.

Comfort comes out to 7.6/10, which usually translates to a comfortable ride. Within Trail, Firm basically means 'less plush than the softest builds' even though the ride still feels comfortable. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

This sits in a nice value spot for its category. 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). On the spec estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 66% of listings. To anchor it: price €3.400 versus an estimated €3.615 for a similar build. Put simply: it’s competitively priced for what you get.

This setup suits typical singletrack and varied natural terrain. It has about 140 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
