27.5″ Mountain Bike ST 900 S

This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. When you push the pace, it's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. The biggest contributors are a fairly average weight, typical trail-width tires, and a basic drivetrain spec that prioritizes practicality over outright performance.

Overall on climbs: 9.5/10. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. Your easiest gear lands around 16.9 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~77% for low-gear climbing. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. With about 14.0 kg to haul uphill, pacing matters more on longer grades. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

Suspension handling is rated 6/10. It matches “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. It’s a common compromise: calmer front wheel, efficient rear end. It should keep the bike more controlled on mixed surfaces, especially through repeated small-to-medium impacts.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. Based on full geometry data.

This bike's adjustability comes down to cockpit, routing, and seat setup: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, The front-end is easier to work on, supporting fit tweaks over time - The listed seatpost details do not show clear restrictions or extra flexibility signals. Overall, it falls into Adjustable. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 6.5/10, which usually translates to a easygoing over rough patches ride. That’s why it’s labeled Race-Stiff. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

For what you get, the price looks very hard to beat. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the parts list, it’s roughly 51% 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 92% of listings. Quick reference: €1.095 listed versus about €2.231 for a comparable build. Not every spec detail is consistently published, so think of this as a strong hint rather than the last word. Bottom line: you’re getting a lot of bike for the money compared with typical options.

This bike is best for smoother trails where speed and efficiency matter. It has about 120 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. Suspension type (Hardtail) fits this kind of terrain.
