Veloce Jupiter 2.0 29 - Review

The Veloce Jupiter 2. 29 is a Hardtail Alloy Bicycle in this brand's MTB range. This frame is built from Alloy. The frame comes with a nicely slanting top tube which ensured increased standover height for the rider which makes it safe for the rider on bumpy surfaces. The frame geometry is completely comfort focused giving the rider an open chested riding posture.

Veloce have used Shimano brand derailleurs in this MTB model. The Veloce Jupiter 2. 29 comes equipped with an 8-Speed Shimano Acera at the rear along with a Shimano Tourney 3-Speed at the front. The Shimano drivetrain on this MTB was both quick and smooth in shifting with no lag experienced during the test ride. The 24-Speed Shimano gearing system is controlled by Shimano's Altus trigger shifters.

The Bicycle which we test rode came with a full Red primary colour with Black as the secondary colours. The graphics were bold and racy which made the Bicycle look aggressive. The matte finish paint job on the Veloce was of top quality and definitely made this MTB looked premium.

The stopping power on this Hardtail MTB is taken care of by a pair of Tektro branded Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes were of good quality and the rotors and disc plates were powerful in stopping amidst traffic and even on flat muddy surfaces.The Alloy MTB handlebar was wide and gave optimum control for the rider when riding through fast paced flat trails and also when maneuvering through sharp turns.

The Veloce Jupiter 2. 29 comes with 29” x 2.25” MTB tires. These tires have bulky treads and a uniform tread pattern which provided great traction on trails and flat muddy surfaces. The wheelset provided a faster rolling resistance as well as a balanced ride on flat trails.The stock saddle from Veloce is ergonomic in design with enough cushioning for a soreness free ride.
