Optic C2 MX

It's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. The score is largely shaped by typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

Overall on climbs: 7.0/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks above average. The low gear should feel friendly on most hills. The easiest gear works out to about 18.2 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~36% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. It’s set up so climbs feel controlled rather than a grind. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

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. Full suspension means both ends can absorb impacts, helping the wheels track rough ground more consistently. Rough trails should feel more controlled, especially when hits stack up. On rough trails, this level aims to keep the bike settled under braking and cornering through repeated hits.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. You get this posture because handlebar height is roughly 29 mm lower than the saddle (very small drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 642 mm (extreme). Expect a lean angle around 26 degrees.

In Mountain, Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable. This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time. At the same time, A dropper makes it easier to shift between climbing and descending positions.

Comfort comes out to 7.9/10, which usually translates to a highly forgiving ride. For Trail, it’s labeled Balanced. In absolute terms it’s highly forgiving; it’s just not as sofa-soft as the most plush setups. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

This looks like a high asking price for the build level. 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 192% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 1% of them. To anchor it: price €13.650 versus an estimated €4.681 for a similar 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 125 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
