The compromises

• Mixed groupset: not every component is Shimano SLX.
• Mechanical shifting, at a price where electronic groupsets are common.
• Basic aluminium wheels.
• 15.6 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.
• 2024 model year.
