Eccentric Lite 2

On an MTB, the speed score centers on rolling efficiency when you're pedaling, especially on easier terrain. All else equal, it's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed. Several build choices play a role, including typical trail-width tires and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. When you're pedaling, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

How it climbs: 6.0/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out around the middle. It’s set up for steady spinning on climbs. The easiest gear works out to about 19.3 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~19% 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. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. 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.

For suspension control, it lands at 6/10. Category: “Confident trail control”. It’s the kind of setup that stays more composed through repeated small-to-medium hits. Hardtail layout — suspension up front for control, rigid rear for a direct response. Suspension travel is the amount of movement available over bumps — here it’s about 120 mm up front. More travel usually means more room to absorb bigger hits. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. That's driven by the bar sits about 17 mm below the saddle (a very small drop), and you'll be stretched forward about 604 mm in total (very long). Plan for roughly 24 degrees of lean.

In Mountain / Trail, So we classify it as Adjustable. Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, and A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 6.6/10 — on a real ride it feels comfortable. That’s why it’s labeled Firm. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

This setup is aimed at fast trail riding on less extreme terrain. It has about 120 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Even though it’s tagged Trail, the setup fits Flow Trails better.
