What we like
- 6061 aluminium frame and suspension fork, a solid base for a very accessible mountain bike
- Shimano Acera 3x7 drivetrain with 24-34-42 triple chainring, very short gearing on climbs

- Three frame sizes (38, 43, 49)
What we like less
- Entry-level components (in-house Torpado fork, MDA-08 brakes)
- 3x7 drivetrain dated compared with current single-chainring set-ups
- Weight not stated
- Confidential French distribution, prices vary widely between retailers
