How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built primarily for trail riding and light off-road exploration, with just enough road manners for short commutes or link-ups between trails.
- Built for
- A friendly, easygoing dual-purpose trail bike that favors playful, low-speed agility over outright speed or long-distance comfort.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good match for riders wanting highway speed, extended touring comfort, or a bike capable of carrying a passenger any real distance.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
