First ride with my DS3 in India. I also own an FX2 (2019) but it's in a different country. It's too early to say conclusively, but the gear ratios seemed great for my use case. This bike is 1×10, front is 40T, rear is 11-48T. Every hill seemed easy and I never used gears 1 or 2 and rarely used 3. On the other end, I mostly used 8, sometimes 9 and 10. If I could change anything the groupset, I would want one more gear on the faster side, maybe with 9 teeth? Overall, delighted with my purchase.
Pictures are from my ride at dawn going through villages near the city Jamshedpur in India.

Can’t have 9 teeth on that hub. Best you can do is a bigger chainring or go 2x.
PS: that seat cover is bad news
