FURTADO X0 AXS RSV / Carbon CC

For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. The strongest influences are a fairly average weight, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, typical trail-width tires, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. Overall, those details affect how quickly it accelerates and how easily it maintains pace.

How it climbs: 9.1/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. It’s set up for steady spinning on climbs. Your easiest gear lands around 18.2 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~36% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. At roughly 13.7 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. 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 suspension control, it lands at 7/10. Category: “High-impact ready”. It typically supports higher-speed rough sections where impacts stack up quickly. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. This is meant for rougher terrain where repeated impacts demand stable wheel tracking.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. You get this posture because bar height comes out ~0 mm below the saddle (very small), with about 606 mm of forward reach - a very long stretch. Plan for roughly 20 degrees of lean. Front-end spacers are estimated around 15 mm.

What drives the fit flexibility here: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical. Another point: A dropper makes it easier to shift between climbing and descending positions. Overall, it falls into Adjustable. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Ride comfort is 8.4/10 — on a real ride it feels very smooth. That’s the reason it lands as 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.

This is priced well above what we’d usually expect for a similar setup. 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). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 68% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 15% of them. To anchor it: price €8.999 versus an estimated €5.364 for a similar build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This bike is built for everyday trails with a mix of roots, rocks, and turns. It has about 130 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
