Co-op DRT 2.1

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. Over longer efforts, it's more about stability and usefulness than feeling fast. Most of the story comes from a heavier build, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, wide, grippy tires that trade speed for traction, and mid-size wheels that balance agility and momentum.

How it climbs: 8.9/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. That lowest gear comes out around 17.6 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~57% versus similar bikes. “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 15.3 kg, which you notice more on longer or slower climbs. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. 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.

Suspension capability comes out at 6/10. Bucket: “Confident trail control”. It’s built for clear bump absorption and more reliable wheel control on mixed surfaces. The fork does the smoothing; the rear stays straightforward and efficient. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. That's driven by handlebar height is roughly 72 mm lower than the saddle (moderate drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 616 mm (very long). Expect a lean angle around 33 degrees. Spacer height is roughly 16 mm.

In Mountain / Trail, Net result: Adjustable. What drives the fit flexibility here: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability; A dropper post adds practical adjustability while riding.

Ride comfort is 6.7/10 — on a real ride it feels nicely smooth. That’s why it’s labeled Firm. It’s running about 71 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 neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~33°), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

Compared to similar bikes, this is priced very competitively. 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 parts list, it’s roughly 31% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 82% of listings. To anchor it: price €1.599 versus an estimated €2.307 for a similar build. Put simply: this is strong value for what’s included.

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.
