Advantages:
The bike is very stylish. The frame format has a fairly simple and reliable geometry. The wide steering wheel makes it easy to control, quite maneuverable. 29 "wheels and tire profile 2.21-2.24" will provide a softer ride and swallow minor bumps. Conveniently, you can adjust the effort and block the damping. Amortization is optimal. There is pedal-worthy front sprocket protection. Reliable brakes.
Disadvantages:
A bit poor bundle, no better than the competitive one. Includes fenders, but the rear och is weak, I broke it on the first trip. Shimano microshift: A bit tricky to set up so that it shifts perfectly, doesn't rattle or jump anywhere. It doesn't bother me too much, but minus half a point.
Comment:
In the photo, bike forward next 2.0 2019 21 frame. with RBRL fenders (aliexpress), TBGD bag (Russia, leatherette), Hafny mirrors, Hafny handles, front 2 lights and rear dimensions of aliexpress, BBB leg When asked, I would advise: the bike is not bad. The wife took a ride, said that the food was easier than her Stern. Its price is 22-25. For 29-32 you can buy a Merida big nine, it was a little more comfortable to sit on and it seems there is richer equipment. But I had a budget and I took this one, and I have no regrets. I can recommend it to you, if you are not a professional just like me, you need a bike that is not cheap, but an initial average amateur class.

Advantages:
I chose it carefully. The main requirements were reliability and the ability to drive on different types of roads (50/20/30 city / highway / intersection). The eye fell on Next for a number of reasons: frame geometry and design, fork, wide handlebars, wide tires, locking grips. It cost me not cheap (24 tr), but it costs its money. All switches work well.
Disadvantages:
Quite slippery grips without gloves.My hands ached at first, but more out of habit and the fact that I was blocking the plug in the city.

Advantages:
A month ago, it cost me a little over 21,000, including all discounts and cashback on a credit card. In general, I settled on it, because the price, based on its capabilities, seemed optimal to me. There was also a variant of Stark Hunter for the same money, almost an analogue, but I liked Nekst's colors more. And the frame itself looks more modern and sporty due to the slight bending of the upper part. As for the bike itself, then, of course, at first it was unusual, since before that I had ridden like a "schoolboy", and now the frame is large and the wheels are at least twice as large. A month later I had already learned to stand up "on their hind legs", jump on the sides. Despite its size, the bike is light and comfortable. The shimano derailleurs and disc brakes work without problems, the only thing is that the rear brake had to be adjusted because it was too sharp. The rest of the mechanisms are all reliably made, one feels "old school". I hope it will last a long time for me, the main thing is to service it periodically.
Disadvantages:
I had to buy a pen guard, a rear derailleur, a flask mount, and flashlights.

Advantages:
The roll is super. The handling is excellent compared to 26 wheels, bumps are easier to pass. I liked the work of the fork.

Advantages:
My first MTV. Until now, I only rode on road and sports. I bought it because there was a dacha, and I somehow feel bad about sharing the last rubles with Russian Railways. But half the way to the dacha - 10 kilometers - is off-road. So, asphalt is off-road, but this is a separate topic. The bicycle, of course, is not for competitions, but a carcass of 85 kg (plus a backpack - 15) delivers from point to point regularly. From a complete set - only changed the pedals for others, with tunklips. A couple of times I loved the situation when there was a hole on the road - I flew in at a solid speed. Yesterday I jumped presumptuously on the curb about ten centimeters. Both times it was exciting (I'll try not to repeat it anymore), but everything seems to have survived. The tires are wide, but the rolling on the asphalt suits me. He called the great Gena. Because cheooy! Whoever remembers the anecdote about genes, ecology and the wife of an FSB general will understand
Disadvantages:
Swingy, contagion. All the time you need to keep it in a straight line. My start-highway in dctv rode like a liner. Efforts had to be made to turn it. Here - the opposite. Well, MTB-shny character, he knew what he was buying. Elastomeric plug. Again, it's a sin to blame for that kind of money, and you can always replace it.
Comment:
In the shops of our city it does not occur at all. A strange situation - MTV - like a gamna behind a bath, but there is nothing to buy. Decent bikes on a budget, it's better to buy a car. By the way, who will take it - keep in mind that the niner is a very bulky machine. I myself am 183, but my legs are short - 80 cm. Therefore, it was not particularly comfortable on the 19th frame, but I climbed into the 17th frame almost perfectly, pushing the saddle back to the maximum. For those who buy the first bike, I recommend either a good bike amp or silicone on the saddle. It is so normal, but it requires getting used to.

Advantages:
I like the smooth ride, I also like a good roll-forward pedaling a lot, no need, he almost drives himself. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase
Disadvantages:
There are no katofot on the wheels, there is no footboard and there is no protection for the rear speed switches. Little things but it would be interesting
Comment:
I love this bike
May 23, 2019, Langepas
Advantages:
The price, I took it for 15k, the roll after 26 wheels is just phenomenal, the handling is not bad.
Disadvantages:
UUUuuuuuuu, well, this is almost everything except a couple of details, he came to me the whole curve, the experience of owning a bike for 10 years, he always set everything up himself, with this he suffered for a day, then he handed it over to the guys in a professional workshop, and even there he was barely set up, how to say set up what we could have done. The seatpost is difficult to find, the size is not standard. Handlebar-fork-frame no complaints! The wheels are weak, the spokes are all stretched out, but nevertheless they constantly creak, the tires do not hold off-road after a light rain, the brake discs came by "helicopter" - for replacement in general. The front shifter for the sake of appearance, the rear one is still trying to work but also to replace. The saddle is not bad. Wings and other crap I never hang-just in the trash. There are no complaints about the fork, I always twist all the forks to "max" stiffness and roll. And mind you, I covered a little over 200 km on it.
Comment:
I put "4" only because of the low price and comfortable frame, the rest will probably change everything.
March 27, 2020, Kirov
Advantages:
The color scheme is black on black. Matte finish. Modern and lightweight frame. Adjustable and lockable fork.
Disadvantages:
Shifters are now Microshift TS38, last line was Shimano Altus ST-EF510. The ratchet was a Shimano Tourney MF-TZ500, this one was some FWD KDF-711.
Comment:
That year I was eyeing "FORWARD Next 2.0 29 Disc (2018)". I planned to buy it, but did not have time. Well, not destiny. But on this fork with a hydraulic lock - this time. It's more stylish on its own, and the design and new frame geometry are two. Wheels 29x2.25 "instead of 29x2.1" are three. In total, it shows itself perfectly both in the city and outside it. Generally I recommend it.
