Firefox Meteor 700C - Text Review

At the core of the Meteor 700C lies a lightweight alloy frame, engineered for durability and responsiveness. Firefox has focused on a sleek yet strong geometry blending the aerodynamic flow of a road frame with the relaxed posture of a city hybrid. The rigid steel fork complements the frame by adding front-end stability while keeping steering direct and predictable.

The Firefox Meteor 700C is powered by a Shimano Tourney 21-speed drivetrain (3×7 setup), featuring Shimano shifters and derailleurs. This setup delivers smooth and consistent shifting performance ideal for city gradients and light fitness rides. Whether it’s navigating traffic or taking a longer fitness trail, the gear range offers both easy climbs and fast cruising.

Comfort is one of the Meteor’s biggest strengths. The semi-upright geometry reduces strain on the back and shoulders, while the ergonomic handlebar allows for a natural wrist position. The rigid fork might sound stiff, but it gives precise control and when paired with the 700×35C hybrid tyres, the bike manages to smooth out small bumps and rough patches effectively.

The front and rear mechanical disc brakes provide strong and reliable stopping power in both wet and dry conditions. Compared to traditional V-brakes, they require less pressure on the levers and deliver more consistent modulation, especially during fast descents or sudden stops in traffic.

The Meteor rolls on 700C double-wall alloy rims, designed for speed, strength, and long-term durability. These wheels, paired with 700×35C hybrid tyres, strike a balance between smooth rolling efficiency and road grip. The tyres offer enough width to handle minor potholes or gravel stretches while remaining fast on tarmac.
