Ninety One’s parent company Alpha Vector are driven by their goal of reconnecting you with the outdoors through a wide range of Bicycles that appeal to the lifestyle and fitness aspiration of India's youth. We got the opportunity to test ride Ninety One’s Madrid 27.5T MTB and here is what we thought.
Weight: 15.4 kgs
Usage: Leisure/Trails
The Ninety One Madrid 27.5T is a performance focused hardtail MTB, built to take on moderate trails and rough urban roads.
The Ninety One Madrid is built around a Hardtail Alloy frame. The Alloy frame has a conventional frame geometry which was comfortable to ride. This frame was capable of taking in vibrations of the surface on both rough trails and urban roads. This lightweight alloy frame made it easier to accelerate and to ride on inclines.
This hardtail MTB comes with a Zoom front suspension fork with an impressive 80mm travel. This travel was smooth in working during the test ride and the mechanical suspension lock-out feature was helpful in making the fork rigid for a smoother riding experience on flat surfaces.
This Bicycle is built on a lightweight Hardtail Alloy frame and comes in a standard frame size
The Madrid 27.5T from Ninety One which I test rode came with White as the primary colour with Yellow as the secondary colour for the graphics and text. The matte finish paint job was top notch in quality. The Orange brake and gear cables were a nice touch to make them colour coordinated. The Black/Yellow saddle with bold ‘91’ text is definitely eye catching. The sleek graphics on the frame looked sporty and aesthetic.
The Madrid 27.5T comes in a single colour variant; White with Yellow graphics
The Ninety One Madrid 27.5T comes equipped with Shimano Tourney at the front and Shimano Acera at the rear as derailleurs. These are entry to mid-level gearing components in Shimano’s MTB hierarchy and they performed smoothly during the test ride. On rough urban roads and flat trails, these derailleurs were ideal for quick and short gear changes. The EZ fire 21-Speed Shimano trigger shifters were easy to use and in easy reach from the handlebar grips.

This MTB’s stopping power is handled by a pair of JAK Mechanical Disc brakes at the front and rear. These brakes were powerful, safe and balanced on both rough and smooth roads. Both interval and jamming of brakes felt in control when used during the test ride.
The Alloy handlebar on this Bicycle was both comfortable and wide enough with a raise from the middle to give the rider an open chested riding posture.

The 27.5” x 2.20” DSI MTB tires on the Ninety One Madrid were heavily treaded to generate a lot of traction on rough surfaces. The 27.5” circumference made it easy to ride over rough trails and urban roads. The stock saddle was wide and had enough cushioning to keep the rider comfortable on bumpy rides.
The 27.5” x 2.20” DSI MTB tires were heavily treaded with strong double walled Alloy rims
This hardtail MTB is built on a lightweight Alloy frame which was comfortable to ride. The Zoom front suspension fork has a smooth 80mm travel with a useful manual suspension lock-out which helps make the fork rigid to ride faster on flat surfaces. The White/Yellow colours and graphics made it look aesthetic with a smooth matte finish. The 27.5” DSI MTB tires were heavily treaded and fast rolling. Priced at Rs.25,519 (as on 6th May 2021) the Ninety One Madrid 27.5T is an ideal choice for anyone looking to buy a Hardtail MTB for riding on both urban roads and flat trails.
