RAZE CARBON RR

In mountain-bike land, this is a pedaling-speed measure - how fast it rolls when you're working for it. It trends this way because of 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. Net effect: the bike either carries speed well or feels like more work to keep it rolling.

Overall on 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. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~36% versus similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. At roughly 13.4 kg, the bike’s heft shows up most on sustained climbs. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

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. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. This level is meant to keep the bike composed when hits are bigger and frequent. Expect stronger control when braking and cornering on rough terrain. Rough trails should feel more controlled, especially when hits stack up.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. It feels this way because you get a moderate drop: roughly 47 mm from saddle to bar, plus about 654 mm of stretch forward (extreme). Plan for roughly 28 degrees of lean. Spacer height is roughly 14 mm.

What drives the fit flexibility here: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, Because cables are routed internally, adjustments may take more work, and A dropper makes it easier to shift between climbing and descending positions. Net result: Moderately Adjustable. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Comfort comes out to 8.0/10, which usually translates to a very smooth ride. So it’s tagged Comfortable overall. 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.

This is priced well above what we’d usually expect for a similar setup. 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 87% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 9% of them. Quick reference: €9.986 listed versus about €5.348 for a comparable build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This setup suits typical singletrack and varied natural terrain. It has about 130 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. The Full setup supports this riding style.
