4060 ST GX

For MTB speed, tire choice and rolling resistance matter a lot, and that's baked into the score. In practice, it's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed. Several build choices play a role, including typical trail-width tires, wheel momentum that helps it carry speed between pedal strokes, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding.

How it climbs: 2.9/10. Within Mountain bikes, this comes out below average. This setup leans heavily toward ‘push’ rather than ‘spin’ on climbs. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 28.1 gear inches. In its peer group, it lands around the easier ~9% for low-gear climbing. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. This is happiest on flatter terrain; steep stuff will feel demanding. Different builds can shift the feel a bit, and some manufacturer specs aren’t always publicly listed, so consider this a helpful direction.

Suspension: 7/10, classed as “High-impact ready”. That usually means it’s built for harder hits and rougher trails with steadier wheel tracking. Full suspension helps the bike stay calmer under braking and cornering on rough sections. It’s designed to stay composed when impacts come quickly one after another, especially at higher speeds.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. It feels this way because the front end is moderate, with ~48 mm of saddle-to-bar drop, with a extreme stretch forward at ~642 mm. Expect a lean angle around 28 degrees. Estimated spacers: ~14 mm.

In Mountain, So it lands in Moderately Adjustable. What drives the fit flexibility here: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, Hidden cables usually add a little friction when you swap bars or stems. Also, Seatpost details do not strongly point to a very locked-in or very flexible system. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Ride comfort is 8.1/10 — on a real ride it feels very smooth. That’s why it’s labeled Comfortable. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10), 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 40% above what similar builds typically cost. Compared with similar bikes, it trends a little expensive (cheaper than about 27% of listings). Quick reference: €6.599 listed versus about €4.711 for a comparable build. Bottom line: the price looks high for what’s included.

This bike is built for everyday trails with a mix of roots, rocks, and turns. It has about 140 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. Suspension type (Full) fits this kind of terrain.
