Unirox Milan DS 700c - Review

The Unirox Milan DS 7C is built on a full Alloy frame. This frame is well designed, sturdy and lightweight. The frame geometry on the Milan is the perfect combination of comfort and aggressiveness for a Hybrid. You will find yourself forward bent to an extent, which ensures that you are in an ideal position for balanced riding. The frame has a combination of circular and tapered tube profiles across the frame sections. This results in optimizing strength at the key joints, while minimizing weight where larger tubing is not required. The Steel rigid fork was bladed and strong enough to handle bad roads.

The 21-Speed drivetrain on the Unirox Milan DS is a combination of a 3-Speed Shimano Tourney as the front derailleur, and a 7-Speed Shimano Tourney as the rear derailleur. Shifting was good across gears, with hardly any lags felt during the test ride. This gear combination is ideal and expected at this price point. The drivetrain is controlled by Shimano EF5 shifters, which were positioned well and easy to use.

This Unirox Milan Bicycle is a good-looking Hybrid. The frame design and eye catchy tube profiles, along with smooth welds, translates to the Milan being an aesthetic Hybrid. The bicycle which we test rode came in a full Red (Maroon) primary colour and Grey as the secondary colour for graphics and text. The gloss finish paint job was top notch in quality.

The Unirox Milan DS 7C comes with Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes were solid in stopping power and felt balanced to use even when jamming them. The levers were also lengthy and had an easy spring action which made it possible to operate using just 2 or 3 fingers.The wide and flat handlebar was perfect in length but could have had slight raise.

The Unirox Milan DS 7C rolls on a pair of 7x35c tires that are fixed on to double walled alloy rims. The treading and size of the tire were ideal for city commuting and long rides. The rolling resistance was fast and the tread pattern provided enough traction on wet roads as well.The stock saddle has an ergonomic shape and build to it but could have had more cushioning for better comfort.
