Where it stands
Priced close to what German shops charge for this level of equipment, so it does not clear the margin we require before naming a pick.

The compromises
- 7-speed drivetrain, fewer gears than the 11- and 12-speed groupsets on most mountain bikes.
- Mechanical shifting, at a price where electronic groupsets are common.
- Wheels not identified from the listing, so we scored them level with basic aluminium rather than guess.
- Aluminium frame, at a price where carbon is common.
- 17.92 kg, on the heavy side for a mountain bike; the ranking's reference weight is 14.7 kg.
- No power meter, which many bikes at this price include.
