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, this comes out near the top. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. The easiest gear works out to about 17.6 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~57% 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 15.3 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.

For bump control, it’s 6/10 — “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 52 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 30 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.

Comfort comes out to 6.7/10, which usually translates to a nicely smooth ride. So it’s tagged Firm overall. It’s running about 71 mm tires on 27.5" wheels, and the high-volume tires add a lot of damping and grip on roots, rocks, braking bumps, and repeated hits. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10, torso ~30°), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

This looks like strong value without any tricky caveats. 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 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 setup is aimed at fast trail riding on less extreme terrain. It has about 120 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. It’s listed as Trail, but the parts point more toward Flow Trails.
