FURTADO X0 AXS / Carbon CC

For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. The score is largely shaped by 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. Taken together, those choices reduce wasted energy when you're trying to go fast.

If your rides include hills, it rates 9.1/10 for climbing. Within Mountain bikes, it lands near the top. On climbs, the lowest gear feels easy. Your easiest gear lands around 18.2 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~36% 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. 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 bump control, it’s 7/10 — “High-impact ready”. That usually means it’s built for harder hits and rougher trails with steadier wheel tracking. Both ends absorb impacts, improving how consistently the tires can follow rough terrain. 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 bar sits about 0 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 606 mm in total (very long). Plan for roughly 20 degrees of lean.

So we classify it as Adjustable. What affects adjustability on this bike: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, Routing is relatively straightforward, which helps when you change cockpit parts, and The dropper adds a real-world adjustability benefit while riding. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

This scores 8.4/10 for comfort, so it feels plush out on the road. So it’s tagged Ultra Smooth overall. It’s running about 127 mm tires on 29" 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), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

For the spec, this is priced well into premium territory. 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 78% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 12% of them. Quick reference: €7.999 listed versus about €4.506 for a comparable build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

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. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
