Carbon frame, adjustable suspension mountain bike

It's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. For mountain riding, it captures how the bike carries speed when you're pushing the pedals on less technical surfaces. Key drivers include typical trail-width tires and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

How it climbs: 8.6/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out near the top. When it gets steep, the gearing feels very easy. The easiest gear works out to about 16.9 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~77% for low-gear climbing. 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. 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.

On the suspension scale, it comes in at 6/10 — “Confident trail control”. It’s built for clear bump absorption and more reliable wheel control on mixed surfaces. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. Expect steadier tracking on rougher sections without feeling like a long-travel downhill setup.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. Based on full geometry data.

Net result: Moderately Adjustable. Why this fit flexibility rating: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, Internal routing is a mild hit to swap-and-go adjustability. At the same time, Seatpost info looks fairly neutral, so most fit change comes from cockpit choices.

This scores 6.8/10 for comfort, so it feels easygoing over rough patches out on the road. That’s the reason it lands as Firm. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps it balanced — not overly aggressive, not overly relaxed.

Overall, this feels reasonably priced. 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). On the spec estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 54% of listings). To anchor it: price €3.994 versus an estimated €3.760 for a similar build. Overall, it sits in the expected range for the category.

This bike is built for everyday trails with a mix of roots, rocks, and turns. It has about 130 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
