This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. As a result, it's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. Most of the story comes from a heavier build, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

On steep roads, it comes in at 9.3/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out near the top. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. That lowest gear comes out around 16.6 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~88% versus similar bikes. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. At roughly 15.4 kg, the bike’s heft shows up most on sustained climbs. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. 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.

On suspension support it’s 7/10, marked “High-impact ready”. This level is aimed at repeated impacts and rougher terrain, keeping the bike more settled at speed. Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. Rough trails should feel more controlled, especially when hits stack up. On rough trails, this level aims to keep the bike settled under braking and cornering through repeated hits.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. It feels this way because the bar sits about 46 mm below the saddle (a moderate drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 642 mm in total (extreme). Plan for roughly 28 degrees of lean. Estimated spacers: ~14 mm.

What drives the fit flexibility here: 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. At the same time, The listed seatpost details do not show clear restrictions or extra flexibility signals. Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable.

This scores 8.1/10 for comfort, so it feels plush out on the road. That’s why it’s labeled Comfortable. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

The value looks a bit weak compared with similar options. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 27% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 39% of listings). Quick reference: €5.419 listed versus about €4.282 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s a bit pricey 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. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
