Firefox has always been successful with their varied line of MTB’s. Until now they have always been a bit of performance and comfort for those beginner riders who want to experience trails. We got the opportunity to test ride the Firefox Nuke D 27s and here is what I thought.
Weight: 15.3 Kgs
Usage: Trail/Fitness
The Firefox Nuke D 27s is packed with performance focused components and is built for both Trails and Urban roads.
The Firefox Nuke D 27S comes with an Alloy hardtail frame which is top notch in terms of build quality and geometry. The Alloy material has been used cautiously in a manner to make sure the most sensitive points on the frame which might experience the most vibrations have extra reinforcement. At the same time, the tubes in between is relatively smaller in circumference which reduces the weight of the frame a little bit.
Being a performance focused hardtail MTB, the suspension plays a big role in the ride quality of this Cicycle on trails. The SR Suntour front suspension fork comes with a massive 100mm travel which worked to its limits during the test ride. The Hydraulic lockout was quick and easy to use and helped ride faster on flatter patches on the trails.

The Bicycle which I test rode came in a full Blue frame with Black graphics in quite a few places on the frame. The model name ‘Nuke’ is visible in a bold font across the top tube which is very unique. The matte finish paint job is top notch and enhances the quality of the Black colour on the frame. The slanting top tube with the wide handlebar makes this hardtail MTB look aggressive.
The Nuke D 27s comes in 2 colours; Black/Blue and Orange/Black
The Nuke D 27s comes equipped with Microshift Marvo LT at the front and rear as derailleurs. These are 2nd in the hierarchy from the bottom in the Microshift MTB gearing line. During the test ride these gears did perform well and without any lags and glitches. The gear shifting was smooth with no lags and the 3x9-Speed gears had enough range for quick accelerations and fast climbs. The Marvo LT gears from Microshift are equivalent to Shimano’s Acera and Alivio groupsets.

The stopping power on the Firefox Nuke D 27s is taken care of by a pair of Tektro Hydraulic Disc brakes. During the test ride these brakes were simply superb to use. They were both reactive and balanced making them safe to use on the roughest and toughest of trails. The brake levers were also easy to engage.
The Zoom Alloy wide handlebar on this hardtail MTB was wide enough giving good control of the bicycle on trails.
The Tektro Hydraulic Disc brakes were powerful during the test ride
The Kenda 27.5” x 2.2” MTB tires were heavily treaded. During the test ride these tires proved its worth by rolling over rough surfaces with stones quite easily. The wheel set is strong and is meant for performance on trails. The stock Firefox saddle on this Bicycle was well padded which ensured the rider was soreness free even on bumpy surfaces.

This Hardtail MTB is packed with performance focused components which helped roll over rough surfaces on the trail during the test ride. The wide handlebar and aggressive frame geometry helped being balanced on trails. The Microshift Marvo LT 27-Speed gears, Tektro Hydraulic Disc brakes and Kenda tires contribute to high quality riding experience.. If you are someone looking to buy your first performance focused hardtail MTB then the Firefox Nuke D 27s priced at Rs.38,900 (as on 1st July 2021) is an ideal choice to consider.
