FitTrip Scrambler 29 Single Speed - Text Review

The Scrambler SS uses a Hi-Tensile steel frame (listed as 1030 Hi-Ten in one spec sheet) with internal cable routing, giving a clean look and better protection for the cables.The geometry is more relaxed than aggressive race bikes, lending to comfort across city rides and light trails. The single-speed system means fewer distractions, fewer components to maintain, and a more minimalist aesthetic.

The single-speed drivetrain of the Scrambler 29 is one of its most defining features. Designed for simplicity, it eliminates the need for gear shifting and reduces long-term maintenance.

The 44T crank and rear freewheel combination strike a balanced ratio — offering smooth pedaling on flats and mild inclines while maintaining efficient cruising speed. Chain tension is handled well by the solid rear dropout design, ensuring consistent performance.

Comfort is an area where the Scrambler 29 shines for its class. The front suspension fork with approximately 80 mm travel helps soak up road imperfections, speed bumps, and light trail vibrations.

The ergonomic handlebar and upright geometry reduce wrist and back strain over long commutes. The saddle, branded by FitTrip, offers medium padding — ideal for urban and fitness use.

Equipped with mechanical disc brakes at the front and rear, the Scrambler delivers consistent braking across various weather conditions. The braking feel is predictable and responsive — a significant step up from standard V-brakes in this segment.

The steering geometry is neutral yet confidence-inspiring. It’s agile enough for tight city turns and steady enough for light off-road paths.

The large 29×2.10 tyres are among the highlights of this bike. They provide superior traction and smoother roll-over on obstacles — potholes, curbs, or trail stones. The double-wall alloy rims enhance durability while keeping the weight manageable.

The tyres perform well on both tarmac and dirt paths, adding to the Scrambler’s multi-surface appeal.
