Montra Helicon -- new hybrid with 27.5" wheels ...

[berkeleydb]

Saw the new Montra Helicon hybrid with 27.5" wheels at RR Cycles --

Looks like a good cycle at the sub-₹15K price range.

ps: There is also a new Mach City hybrid, all-steel frame. Single speed & geared variants. sub-₹10K & sub-₹15K prices, respectively. These too seem to be quite good. Expecting all these to be quite popular amongst beginners.

Yes, it looks good. In fact, I suggested this for some people who are price conscious to try out.

I also suggested the https://machcity.com/ibike-w-7-speed/ for ladies who were hell bent on a budget below 10k.

But most of them complained that they couldn't find an appropriate showroom to see the bike physically.

Just went to check the bike. I thought its a good replacement for my old Act 110+ (no, not upgrading)

and the price quoted at 13.5k also looked reasonable. I thought its better VFM compared to the mach city

munich with a difference of only 2k.

Would have picked directly if the matte black colour was available. They had only that greenish blue (or some)

colour which I did not like much.

Rakesh said he is expecting the matte black in Dec second week and I am sure this bike is going to be my new

year self present.

Now, I have to think of what to do with my perfectly running Act 110+.

27.5 is an odd wheel size no??  Tyre replacements, tubes options may be less. Right??

[Girish V]

Hi manish,

I checked the bike at RR cycles, koramangala. If you around BTM layout or JP nagar, you can check the same there. They also have a shop in Domlur I think.
Other than that, the best option will be track and trail

Hey Girish, 

Can you help me figure out where in Bangalore I could take a look at the Montra bikes?

I loved them too, but do not want to pick them up online.

It is becoming common these days. I was able to get tubes from Decathlon for very reasonable price.

Off topic,

Does stock ACT 110 rim have 32 spokes or 36 spokes ?

With Regards,

Yeah... 27.5" wheels are becoming popular. In cities, tyre/tube availability should not be an issue. Pricing should be ok too.

The Mach City Munich did remind me of the Act 110.

Folks can check them out at RR Cycles, Madiwala.

Really nice to see some good bikes being introduced in this price segment.
