STATUS 2 140 ZERO

This off-road speed score leans toward efficient rolling, not downhill stability or comfort. On typical routes, it's better suited to relaxed riding than pushing fast splits. Most of the story comes from a heavier build, typical trail-width tires, and a more budget-friendly drivetrain that focuses on value. On hardpack, the tire setup is biased toward rolling speed on firm ground.

If your rides include hills, it rates 9.4/10 for climbing. Within Mountain bikes, it ranks near the top. The easiest gear is very spin-friendly on hills. That lowest gear comes out around 16.2 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~92% of them. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. At roughly 15.3 kg, the bike’s heft shows up most on sustained climbs. You’ll be able to keep a steady spin even when it gets steep. Real-world feel depends on setup and size, and some details aren’t always listed, so this is best seen as a well-informed estimate.

Suspension handling is rated 7/10. It matches “High-impact ready”. This level is aimed at repeated impacts and rougher terrain, keeping the bike more settled at speed. Both ends absorb impacts, improving how consistently the tires can follow rough terrain. It prioritizes stability at speed on rough ground. This is meant for rougher terrain where repeated impacts demand stable wheel tracking.

Balanced fit - a neutral road posture that suits most riders. Because bars are around 90 mm lower than the saddle, which is a large drop, and the forward stretch measures around 559 mm (long). Estimated lean is about 37 degrees.

What drives the fit flexibility here: Standard cockpit parts make it simpler to fine-tune your position over time, Internal routing looks tidy but can make cockpit changes a bit more fiddly. At the same time, A 2-bolt clamp makes precise saddle setup easier. Overall, it falls into Adjustable.

Comfort comes out to 7.8/10, which usually translates to a very smooth ride. Within Trail, Balanced basically means 'less plush than the softest builds' even though the ride still feels very smooth. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~37°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

For the spec, this feels competitively priced. 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). Based on the spec estimate, it comes in about 9% under the typical level for similar builds. In its peer group, it tends to be better-priced than many, beating about 66% of listings. Quick reference: €3.000 listed versus about €3.298 for a comparable build. Overall, it looks like a strong buy in its category.

This setup suits typical singletrack and varied natural terrain. It has about 140 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which works well for everyday trails. Overall, the setup matches this surface range well.
