FURTADO R / Carbon C

It's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. On trails, this rating is about rolling speed and momentum, not suspension feel or handling sharpness. Key drivers include a fairly average weight, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value.

Overall on climbs: 8.9/10. Within Mountain bikes, it lands near the top. It has an easy low gear for steady climbing. Your easiest gear lands around 18.6 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~24% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. With about 13.9 kg to haul uphill, pacing matters more on longer grades. 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.

Suspension performance: 7/10. It’s grouped into “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. This level is meant to keep the bike composed when hits are bigger and frequent. On rough trails, this level aims to keep the bike settled under braking and cornering through repeated hits.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. Because the cockpit sits 0 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~606 mm (very long). Expect a lean angle around 20 degrees.

This rating is mainly driven by the parts that affect adjustability: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts. At the same time, A dropper makes it easier to shift between climbing and descending positions. So we classify it as Adjustable. Put simply, it describes how practical it is to reconfigure your position later.

Comfort comes out to 8.4/10, which usually translates to a plush ride. That’s why it’s labeled Ultra Smooth. It’s running about 127 mm tires on 29" 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), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.
