TALLBOY X0 AXS RSV / Carbon CC

For mountain riding, it captures how the bike carries speed when you're pushing the pedals on less technical surfaces. It trends this way because of a fairly average weight, relatively narrow MTB tires that roll quickly, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. On smoother terrain, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

How it climbs: 9.6/10. Within Mountain bikes, it lands near the top. It’s set up for smooth spinning on steeper climbs. The easiest gear works out to about 16.9 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~77% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. With about 13.3 kg to haul uphill, pacing matters more on longer grades. Good for keeping cadence steady on climbs without overcooking it. 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 means both ends can absorb impacts, helping the wheels track rough ground more consistently. 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 there's about 31 mm of drop to the bars (very small), with roughly 633 mm of forward stretch to the bar (very long). Expect a lean angle around 26 degrees. Spacer height is roughly 14 mm.

Net result: Moderately Adjustable. Separate bar and stem components keep fit changes practical, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier, and Seatpost info looks fairly neutral, so most fit change comes from cockpit choices.

Comfort comes out to 8.2/10, which usually translates to a highly forgiving ride. That’s why it’s labeled Ultra Smooth. It’s running about 102 mm tires on 29" wheels, and the big tires calm small hits and take the edge off trail chatter on roots, rocks, braking bumps, and repeated hits. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

For the spec, this is priced well into premium territory. 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 39% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 28% of listings). Quick reference: €8.899 listed versus about €6.398 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This bike is built for soft and loose ground where extra tire volume helps. Tires around 4.0 in usually mean it’s more confident on loose, soft surfaces (for example sand or snow). It’s listed as Trail, but the parts point more toward Soft Terrain.
