Montra Celtic - Text Review

The 6061 Alloy frame forms the Celtic’s core lightweight yet rigid enough for sustained road performance. The endurance geometry encourages a semi-upright position, easing pressure on the back and shoulders during long rides. The frame’s welds are clean, and its Black Matt on Gloss with Holographic Graphics gives a premium visual appeal.

The geometry offers a sweet spot between performance and comfort, ensuring that both daily riders and weekend enthusiasts find it versatile.

At the heart of the Celtic’s performance lies the Shimano Claris 2×8-speed drivetrain. The ST-R2000 shifters and matching derailleurs ensure crisp and dependable shifting even under varying loads. The Prowheel AE221P Alloy crankset (50/34T) paired with a Shimano 12–32T cassette provides a broad gear range suited for flats, climbs, and fitness rides alike.

On-road, the Celtic feels light, efficient, and responsive. Riders transitioning from hybrids or MTBs will immediately appreciate its clean, mechanical feel and road-centric acceleration.

While the rigid steel fork prioritizes efficiency and control, its endurance geometry ensures that comfort isn’t sacrificed. The Promax setback seatpost and ergonomic road saddle allow for a balanced riding position, suitable for long hours of cycling.

The 700×25C nylon tires offer low rolling resistance and decent puncture protection, making them suitable for both city and highway conditions.

The Tektro R315 alloy caliper brakes provide consistent and predictable stopping power, particularly on clean tarmac. The brake modulation feels confident, and while rim brakes have their limitations in heavy rain, they offer simplicity, low maintenance, and lighter setup weight.

Paired with the alloy dropdown handlebar and Promax stem, the handling feels nimble yet stable ideal for riders who prefer spirited rides with reliable cornering feedback.

700C double-wall alloy rims paired with XMR 32H sealed-bearing hubs ensure smooth rolling, durability, and stability at higher speeds. The 700×25C nylon tires offer excellent road grip and low rolling resistance, ideal for long endurance rides and urban commutes.

Ergonomically designed road saddle built for endurance comfort, featuring balanced cushioning and a streamlined shape that supports efficient pedaling and posture during extended rides.
