The geometry is balanced and the voluminous Nobby Nic tyres from Schwalbe are among the grippiest in the test field. Both provide comfort and safety off-road. But....

However, the weak suspension fork and the too narrow handlebars significantly reduce the off-road capability. The Manitou fork quickly releases a lot of travel and sags through the suspension travel, a safety risk on steeper steps on the descent. In combination with the smaller 27.5-inch wheels, the bike feels choppy on the descents. The SLX rear derailleur lacks a switchable spring tension, so the ride over roots and stones is accompanied by a rattling noise. The frame is well made and the internal cable routing is exemplary. The riding position is upright and the Uproc1 climbs comfortably. Bikers don't have to worry about the front wheel climbing until late on, and there is hardly any loss of traction on the rear wheel. Unfortunately, the gear ratio limits the urge to climb.


Conclusion: Well-balanced tourer with proven Bosch drive and grippy tyres. However, quickly overtaxed on rough terrain.

Florentin Vesenbeckh has been on a mountain bike since he was ten years old. Even on his very first tour, he focussed on single trails - and even after more than 30 years in the saddle of an MTB, these are still the quintessence of biking for him. He spent his youth competing in various bike disciplines and later his cycling career was characterised by years as a riding technique coach. Professionally, the experienced test editor now focusses on e-mountainbikes. In recent years, the qualified sports scientist and trained journalist has tested over 300 bikes and more than 40 different motor systems in the laboratory and in practice.
