Where it stands

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.
• 17 kg, on the heavy side for a mountain bike; the ranking's reference weight is 14.7 kg.

What B.O.C. lists, and what it has today

This brand publishes no centimetre equivalence we can verify, so the bike appears only when you pick a letter size.

Where to buy

B.O.C. is the only one of the 22 shops we check that sells this bike.

Price so far

• B.O.C. states an RRP of €2,999 (10% off). That is the shop's claim; we rank on today's price, never on the discount.
