Ninety One is an Indian Bicycle brand and their range includes Electric, MTB, Hybrid and City Bicycles for Men, Women and Children. This major player in the Indian Bicycle market has an extensive range of Bicycles with numerous designs and colours. We got the opportunity to test ride the Ninety One Dark Knight 27.5T Multispeed and here is what we thought.
Weight: 18.8kgs
Usage: Leisure/Trails
The Ninety One Dark Knight 27.5T Multispeed is a perfect All-rounder MTB for riding on the roughest of urban roads and moderate trails.
The Ninety One Dark Knight 27.5T Multispeed is built on a full Steel frame with a slanting top tube. The top tube has an extra tube joint connecting it to the seat tube which makes for a strong front triangle which is capable of absorbing vibrations of the surface. The ride geometry is comfortable with no strain on the back and shoulders.
The front suspension fork comes with a 60-80mm travel. This travel was sufficient for bumpy urban roads and flat and slightly rough trails.
The ride geometry is comfortable with no strain on the back and shoulders.
This Hardtail MTB which we test rode came in a full Army Green primary colour on the frame with White and Black as the secondary colours for the graphics. The matte paint job is of good quality with a smooth finish. The graphics are simple and and the slanting top tube, colour coded rims and fork made this Bicycle aesthetic.
The Ninety One Dark Knight 27.5T Multispeed comes in 3 colour variants; Black-Red, Black-Blue and Army Green
The Ninety One Dark Knight 27.5T Multispeed comes equipped with Shimano Tourney derailleurs at the front and rear. During the test ride these derailleurs were smooth in shifting and had enough range for short commutes and leisure trail rides. The 3x7-Speed Shimano Tourney shifters were basic with easy to read gear indicators and an easy spring action.
The 21-Speed Shimano Tourney drivetrain worked smoothly on flat trails
The 91 branded Mechanical Disc brakes handle the stopping power on the Ninety One Dark Knight 27.5T Multispeed. These are reliable Mechanical Discs which were sufficient to keep the Bicycle in control on flat, slippery trails. Both jamming of the brakes and interval braking felt safe even at high speeds.
The stock handlebar on this Hardtail MTB was perfect in length with a slight raise. This width enables safe control of the Bicycle when riding fast on flat trails and amidst traffic on urban roads.
The 91 branded Mechanical Disc brakes felt balanced and safe to use on rough trails and urban roads
This Hardtail MTB rolls on a pair of 27.5” x 2.4” stock tires. These tires are heavily treaded and made sure the Cycle could roll on wet and muddy surfaces safely. The Double Walled Alloy rims made the wheelset strong. The extra 2.4” width on these tires increased the capability of this MTB to ride on the roughest of surfaces.
The stock MTB Saddle was perfect in length and had enough padding to keep the rider comfortable on bumpy rides.
Heavily treaded 27.5” x 2.4” stock MTB tires
This Hardtail Bicycle is built on a full Steel frame and comes with a comfortable frame geometry. The 91 branded Mechanical Disc brakes were powerful and balanced to use. The stock 27.5” x 2.4” MTB tires were heavily treaded and roll fast as well. Priced at Rs.18,999(as on 4th July 2023) the Ninety One Dark Knight 27.5T Multispeed is an ideal choice for anyone looking for a Hardtail MTB for riding on both rough urban roads and moderate trails.
