Acrolt M800 Nox 27.5 - Review

The Acrolt M8 Nox 27.5 is a Hardtail Alloy Bicycle in this brand's MTB range. This frame is built from Alloy, the frame comes with a nicely slanting top tube which ensured increased standover height for the rider which makes it safe for the rider on bumpy surfaces. The frame geometry is ideal for a balanced riding posture to be stable on trails.Being a Hardtail the Acrolt M8 Nox 27.5 comes with a stock front suspension fork with sufficient travel which helped tackle bad roads and bumpy surfaces on flat trails easily. The suspension lock-out feature helps ride faster on flatter surfaces.

Acrolt has used Shimano brand derailleurs in this MTB model. The Acrolt M8 Nox 27.5 comes equipped with a 8-Speed Shimano Altus at the rear along with a Shimano Tourney 3-Speed at the front. The Shimano entry/mid-level drivetrain on this MTB was both quick and smooth in shifting with no lag experienced during the test ride. The 24-Speed gearing system is controlled by Shimano's EF5 shifters.

The Bicycle which I test rode came with a full Grey primary colour with Orange and White as the secondary colours. The graphics were bold and racy which made the Bicycle look aggressive. The matte finish paint job on the Acrolt was of top quality and definitely made this MTB looked premium.

The stopping power on this Hardtail MTB is taken care of by a pair of Repute branded Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes were of good quality and the rotors and disc plates were powerful in stopping amidst traffic and even on flat muddy surfaces.The 66mm MTB handlebar was wide and gave optimum control for the rider when riding through fast paced flat trails and also when maneuvering through sharp turns.

The Acrolt M8 Nox 27.5 comes with Kenda 27.5” x 2.1” MTB tires. These tires have bulky treads and a uniform tread pattern which provided great traction on moderate to rough trails. The wheelset provided a faster rolling resistance as well as balanced ride on flat trails. The stock saddle from Acrolt is ergonomic in design with minimal graphics.
