Rockfire Urban Sport - Review

The Rockfire Urban Sport is built on a lightweight AL Tech 661 Aluminium frame. The tubes are butted which means that excess material is removed from low stress areas of the frame, reducing the weight without affecting durability or ride quality. The frame tubes are shaped to offer a riding experience that remains stiff and smooth.The flattened Alloy rigid fork on this Bicycle gives you confident steering control. This lightweight composite fork on the Urban Sport is strong and can handle hard bumps on urban roads.

The Rockfire Urban Sport features a Shimano Tourney/Acera drivetrain. The 3-Speed Shimano Tourney derailleur at the front and a 7-Speed Shimano Acera derailleur at the rear are a mid-level component mix providing super smooth gear shifting making it ideal for commuting and fitness rides on urban roads. The 3x7-Speed Shimano trigger shifters were standard and easy to use.

The Rockfire Urban Sport comes in a full Matte Black colour frame with Gloss Black graphics. The matte finish paint job and the quality of the gloss decals were top notch and made the frame look stylish. The thin seat stays and chain stays made the Bicycle look sleek. The graphics and design were minimal and classy.

The Logan Mechanical Disc brakes at the front and rear were reliable and balanced during the test ride. The reaction time from the levers to the brakes was quick. These brakes are good for wet and dry urban roads, the quality and performance of these brakes were definitely on par with any other performance focused mid-level Mechanical Disc brakes in the market.The Sport handlebar with a slight rise was wide and made sure the rider has an open chested riding posture. The raise is a gradual curve which makes it look good as well.

The 7c wheels on the Urban Sport offer a Road Bike like rolling speed and efficiency. This Bicycle features Double wall Alloy Deep Dish rims so they are strong enough to take a pounding on the road day-after-day. The DSI 7x35C Hybrid tires are wide enough to offer a little more cushioning for a smoother ride on uneven road surfaces.The Rockfire stock saddle was ergonomically designed and had a lot of cushioning to keep the rider soreness free.
