RAPTOR 2.0

On an MTB, the speed score centers on rolling efficiency when you're pedaling, especially on easier terrain. Most of the story comes from typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, smaller wheels that can lose momentum sooner, and a capable drivetrain that supports steady speed. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

Climbing rating: 6.6/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits above average. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. Your easiest gear lands around 18.4 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~26% versus similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. 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.

Suspension score: 6/10. It sits in the “Confident trail control” bucket. That typically means noticeably better bump absorption and more consistent tracking on rougher sections. 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 neutral road posture that suits most riders. Based on full geometry data.

Net result: Moderately Adjustable. Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. Another point: Seatpost details do not strongly point to a very locked-in or very flexible system. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Ride comfort is 6.2/10 — on a real ride it feels nicely smooth. That’s the reason it lands as Race-Stiff. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which gives a steady, predictable feel without pushing you too far forward.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. 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 70% cheaper than what similar builds typically cost. Against similar bikes of the same type and age, it’s usually on the cheaper side, beating about 98% of listings. Quick reference: €846 listed versus about €2.831 for a comparable 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. It’s listed as Trail, but the parts point more toward Flow Trails.
