Veloce Scalo 2.0 - Text Review

Frame & Geometry: The frame is made of 6061 lightweight aluminum alloy with internal cable routing, which helps with a sleek look and somewhat cleaner maintenance. The lines are neat, and the internal routing reduces snagging and exposure. The frame is paired with a straight rigid steel fork rather than suspension. This keeps weight down and responsiveness good on paved roads.
Fit & Design Aesthetic: It’s finished in a Blue-Grey colour which gives it a muted but modern look. The bike is built for those who want commuter-hybrid functionality without overly aggressive styling. The 700c wheels add to the modern hybrid feel: “The 700c wheels are brisk off the mark and will absorb the lumps and bumps of roads.” Overall, the geometry seems aimed at a semi-upright posture, balancing comfort and pedaling efficiency.

Drivetrain details: 21 speeds front derailleur Shimano Tourney TY510; rear Tourney TX800; shifters Shimano EF500; crank Shimano TY301; freewheel Shimano TZ500 (7-speed freewheel). This is basic but serviceable: Shimano Tourney/TX series are known for being reliable entry-level components.
Performance on the road: Given the 21-speed setup, the Scalo 2.0 offers enough gearing range for moderate hills and flatter city roads. It won’t win races, but shifts should be reasonably smooth if properly tuned. Because of the lightweight alloy frame and rigid fork, acceleration is decent, especially from standstill.

Ride feel: The rigid steel fork does share some load, but you’ll feel more of the road than on a bike with suspension. Tire width 38C (700×38) helps cushion rougher city roads and small potholes.

Riding position: With a 660 mm alloy handlebar, moderate rise and likely swept or flared somewhat, the posture should balance comfort and control well. Not super aggressive or stretched, which is good for commuting and longer rides where posture fatigue can set in.
