The compromises

• 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.
• 15.8 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.
• 2023 model year.
