Battalion Frontline V3 (0-1) - Text Review

by Devi D November 13, 2025 1 min read

The Battalion Frontline V3 (0-1) is the “entry version” in the same family as the front-line V3, designed specifically for riders making their first step into road cycling or endurance riding. While keeping many pro-inspired touches (geometry, mounts, tyre clearance), it adjusts the component spec (Tourney vs Claris) to bring the price down and make the transition more accessible.

: The endurance/touring geometry (relaxed angles, longer wheelbase) makes it more comfortable for longer rides compared with aggressive race bikes. The luggage and bottle mounts make it an excellent choice for “fitness + light touring” use.

"
The alloy frame (T6 6061) with the flared top tube gives it a modern look and solid stiffness
: the bike gives a respectable gear spread for flats, moderate climbs and fast sections. While Tourney is a more entry-level groupset, it’s practical and reliable for its segment. For new riders it offers good functionality and upgrade headroom: you could later replace components if needed rather than the frame.

"
With Shimano Tourney 7×2 (14 speeds) and an 12-28T cassette
: which reduces fatigue on longer sessions. The 28 C tyres (with option up to 32 mm) give a balance of roll speed and comfort. For a first-road bike, this model handles rougher city roads or moderately uneven surfaces well.

"
Comfort is a strong suit: the touring geometry helps you sit more upright
: They are lighter and lower cost than disc brakes. For wet or dusty conditions though, you’ll need to be more conscious with modulation/maintenance. Steering is stable and predictable thanks to the frame geometry and integrated headset.

"
The dual-pivot rim brakes are adequate: strong enough for dry surfaces and general road use.
: The double-wall alloy rims and sealed-bearing hubs (24h front, 28h rear) are nice touches in this segment—they improve durability and reduce drag (so less effort wasted). Stock tyres are 700×28C endurance style; the option to go up to 32 mm gives you upgrade flexibility.

"
The saddle is a memory-foam “clamshell race-fit” from Battalion—good for medium rides.

: Overall: The Battalion Frontline V3 (0-1) is a compelling pick for riders who want to step into proper road cycling or endurance rides without spending big. It takes many pro-inspired design features and packages them in an accessible spec.
