The bike runs as expected. Nice and light but still robust. No slipping. Light as a feather when going uphill. Rolls nicely. But what is generally deoptimized on MTBs / bikes: only one gear at the front. Allows downhill or lower speeds. Racing bikes have an extreme advantage due to large sprockets earlier. But it should be enough somehow
