FORWARD Apache 27.5 2.0 Disc (2020)

Advantages: - High-quality assembly (I bought it assembled from an authorized Forward dealer) - Mechanical disc brakes work well - Light frame (aluminum) and the bike as a whole - Fenders and a stand were included, a small but nice bonus :), you don't have to take a steam bath to look for such basic necessary things

Disadvantages: - Standard fenders are squishy, ​​but hold, with adequate ride they will last a long time - The seat is hard, you need to adjust or buy a more comfortable one - Threadless steering column, and therefore you can't raise the steering wheel in height, you need to buy an additional part - increase the number of rings (sold on Aliexpress) - When the pedals are loaded (for example, when going uphill), an extraneous knock (crackle) in the carriage area, while the device does not affect the operation, I will observe

Comment: I bought this device on 06/17/2020, on 06/25/2020 I drove over 170 kilometers on it, these are city roads and intersections - forest paths, ravines, etc. So far, I can't say anything bad (in general), it's an excellent device. Bought it and drove off. The brakes are good, very sensitive, responsive, smooth. The switches are good (shimano tourney), they work properly. The wheels are good, the tires are strong, the suspension fork also works well as long as there are no problems. There is a ratchet at the back (not a cassette), but so far there have been no problems with this (I weigh 75 kg). I immediately bought a bicycle computer. 27.5 wheels roll well, accelerate briskly on the descent, and pick up speed well on the rise. 19 frame (height 178) - perfect. Overall a good bike. UPD. At 8.07 I drove more than 430 km, everything is fine! Brakes creak really, but it's not scary, the knock in the carriage area has disappeared (I don't notice it now at least), the speed is gaining briskly, the roll is super, the switches work out. Raised the saddle, I'm waiting with Ali for a piece to raise the steering wheel. In general, everything is fine, I was already rolling along a terrible rude, through thickets, ravines, and survived everything. UPD2. At 6.09 I drove 1500 km. Works for 5! I did not reveal any serious shortcomings. Raised the steering wheel by 7 cm, it became much more comfortable to ride. The stock pedals are excellent. All other nodes also hold.There was really one jamb - the rear wheel flattened, disassembled, there was small steel shavings inside the tire (apparently, when drilling holes in the rim, it was left from the factory), it punctured the camera, replaced it (the dealer said, they would give it to the factory), apparently my batch was defective. Another point - 27 wheels skid well (skid) on sand, mud, etc. because of the large diameter, it is necessary to roll such sections carefully, but the roll-off from 27 is super.

Great great

Advantages: Aluminum Disc brakes Wheels 27.5 "Design Fenders and footrest included, and correct, in the fork stem and on the seat post, and not poor under the bracket for the fork and frame at the rear. Separate brake levers with shifters will be important when further upgrading the transmission or brakes separately Quick-release wheels on eccentrics, in this price category more often wheels with nuts.

Disadvantages: Curved brake discs Enormous travel of the left (front derailleur) of the shifter to increase (1-> 2-> 3) gear. Not a very good factory location of the front brake cable The cable channels are attached to the frame with not very reliable plastic clips, lost - and they will have to be fastened with nylon ties, there will be a collective farm.

Comment: I bought it for the child as a gift, collected it myself from the box. I'll make a reservation right away - all the nitpicking must be correlated with its price, I got it for 15300 rubles. with bonuses. 1. Disc brakes are very good, they are more efficient than similar rim brakes and are not afraid of eights, BUT - this led included rather curved discs (rotors), especially the front one, the beating was visible in the gap between the pads. Configuring them so that they do not shuffle it turned out only by placing a piece of foil under the desired screw and at the cost of a slightly longer brake lever stroke. Even for the sake of interest, I took off the front disc and put it on the glass - it swayed a little in one plane. On occasion, I will change the discs for Shimanovs for the next season. 2. I had to shift the front brake cable - if, according to their idea, screw the steering wheel, then the cable passed a couple of centimeters from the wheel, took it out of the caliper and shifted it as it should. 3. Just a huge upshift key travel on the left shifter! The lower one flips ideally with a stroke of 7-8 millimeters, and the higher one must be moved by 4 centimeters! You must have either a long or very flexible thumb in the joint. HZ how to win, you have to think. The right shifter works fine. In general, even for their full 18,000 rubles. drove very worthy, there are all the attributes of a modern car, if the workshop will also assemble and configure it, removing the above-described jambs - generally an excellent machine!

Hello! I bought a bike at a store. Collected in 40 minutes and I left on it. Everything is fine, only after about 1 km, the front mudguard fell off. I didn’t return, but put it in my backpack. In general, everything is fine. Thank you!
