Raft Trail – Trail version 120mm – Sram X01 mix 1x12sp

This MTB speed measure favors setups that roll efficiently without sacrificing too much traction. Key drivers include typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. When you're pedaling, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground (with a bit of defaulting).

Overall on climbs: 7.6/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out above average. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. The easiest gear works out to about 17.8 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~52% 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. 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 effectiveness is 6/10. That aligns with “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. It should keep the bike more controlled on mixed surfaces, especially through repeated small-to-medium impacts.

Sporty fit - a performance-leaning position that encourages speed. You get this posture because bars are around 63 mm lower than the saddle, which is a moderate drop, and the forward stretch measures around 620 mm (very long). Plan for roughly 31 degrees of lean.

In Mountain, Overall, it is Moderately Adjustable. What drives the fit flexibility here: Because the bar and stem are separate, changing reach or bar shape is usually straightforward, Less routing complexity makes swaps and adjustments more practical, Seatpost details do not strongly point to a very locked-in or very flexible system. At the same time, The dropper post improves on-the-fly position changes.

Comfort comes out to 6.9/10, which usually translates to a easygoing over rough patches ride. That’s the reason it lands as Firm. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~31°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

This looks expensive compared with similar bikes. 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 53% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 19% of them. To anchor it: price €5.249 versus an estimated €3.422 for a similar build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

This bike is built for everyday trails with a mix of roots, rocks, and turns. It has about 120 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
