Process 134 27.5

In MTB terms, the score is mostly about momentum on flats and climbs, rather than jump or drop capability. In comparison with more aero-focused bikes, this build is shaped by typical trail-width tires and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

How it climbs: 9.4/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. The easiest gear works out to about 15.9 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~94% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. 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 capability comes out at 7/10. Bucket: “High-impact ready”. That usually means it’s built for harder hits and rougher trails with steadier wheel tracking. Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. It’s designed to stay composed when impacts come quickly one after another, especially at higher speeds.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. That's driven by the cockpit sits 27 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and the cockpit stretches you forward by ~619 mm (very long). You'll likely be near 26 degrees of lean. Spacer height is roughly 15 mm.

That is why it is in the Adjustable bucket. Why this fit flexibility rating: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability. Plus, A dropper makes it easier to shift between climbing and descending positions. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 7.7/10, which usually translates to a very smooth ride. It’s tagged Balanced for Trail — it feels very smooth overall, but it’s on the firmer end compared with the plushest Trail builds. The posture is neutral (posture 6/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

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 59% 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 96% of listings. Quick reference: €1.499 listed versus about €3.642 for a comparable build. Overall, it looks like a great-value pick in its category.

This setup suits typical singletrack and varied natural terrain. It has about 134 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
