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
- 8-speed drivetrain, fewer gears than the 11- and 12-speed groupsets on most mountain bikes.
- Wheels not identified from the listing, so we scored them level with basic aluminium rather than guess.
- 15 kg, on the heavy side for a mountain bike; the ranking's reference weight is 14.4 kg.
- 2023 model year.
