: The Hannibal's frame is built out of Steel making it a bit heavy but strong. A common characteristic of a Steel frame is its weight and it is very important to use the right amount to make sure the teenager using this bicycle does not feel the heaviness while riding. During the test ride I felt the heaviness to an extent only while climbing on inclined roads and flyovers. The Steel threadless front suspension fork has a working travel of 5mm. The rear suspension under the saddle worked to an extent and it was clearly felt when mounting curbs and speed breakers during the test ride.

This full suspension Urban MTB comes in a standard 18” frame size
: The Hannibal's gearing is taken care of by Shimano Tourney at the front and rear as derailleurs. Yes, they are the most basic gearing components and this wasn't a surprise at this price range. The gearing performance was sufficient for city rides. The Shimano EasyFire EF-41 21-Speed shifters were impressive with smooth and easy operation.

: One of the most important aspects of a bicycle for teenagers is the design and the Roadeo Hannibal 26 DD (2019) has scored high in this category. The Hannibal comes in 2 colour variants. The one we test rode we can in a Black frame with Blue and Red as the secondary colours. With colour coded graphics on a lot of components starting from the saddle to the rims and even on the handlebar grips makes sure that the bicycle looks flashy and is guaranteed to make heads turn on the streets.

: The Logan Mechanical Disc brakes on the Hannibal provide more than enough stopping power, which is needed in urban conditions. The brakes were reactive and also well balanced. Even on multiple instances when I jammed the brakes during the test ride at a moderate speed the stopping was quick and safe.The XMR Alloy 62mm handlebar on this bicycle was both comfortable and wide enough to give the rider an open chested riding posture.

: The Wanda King 26” x 2.125” stock MTB tires on the double walled Alloy rims roll over unpaved city streets with ease. The treading was bulky and evenly spaced for good traction on rough surfaces. The XMR PU Saddle on the Hannibal felt soft and had enough cushioning for a pain free ride.

Quote
: The Hannibal is intended to be used in city conditions for short commutes. It can handle the traffic well which requires constant braking but the acceleration after the stoppages might be tougher due to the slightly heavier Steel frame. Spec wise this bicycle is packed with most of the features a teenager will look for in a bicycle, which includes a dual suspension and Mechanical Disc brakes. Priced at Rs.15,3(as on 13th June 219) the Hercules Roadeo Hannibal 26 DD (2019) is an ideal choice for anyone looking to buy a bicycle for leisure rides.Prices and Specifications/Components are subject to change by the brand, without due notice.
