Good Frame Geometry and build.
This suspension unit played a significant role in soaking up vibrations from potholes.
Good Gear sytem for basic commuting.
Brake levers have a good response time.
The 700 x40c semi-knobby tires are meant to take you on city roads as well as off the beaten path, without worrying about grip and comfort.
Schwinn Bicycles (USA) have a heritage of being America's leading bicycle brand for over 100+ years. They are known for making extremely functional and comfortable commuter bicycles that are priced well. There seems to be a significant shift in their design philosophy in the last 2-3 years, as there is a conscious shift to move away from their "heritage/classic" bicycle tag, to a more trendy and contemporary one. We test rode the Schwinn Searcher 3 2016 which is part of the company's "Signature series", to see if this change is evident enough.
The Brakes on this hybrid are mechanical discs in the front and rear. They are equipped with Promax mechanical disc s with 160 mm rotors in the front and rear. They did a good job bringing the bike to a halt during some anxious moments on our test ride in crazy city traffic. The brake levers are Shimano Altus EF-51 units, which had good response. During our review we did notice a minor clattering noise from the rear brake cable clamp below the top tube, that appeared when we got into a pothole.
The Schwinn Searcher 3 2016 comes priced at Rs.31,900. The value proposition that it offers is a comfortable and a well-built hybrid. It comes ready to tackle good and bad road conditions with i's front suspension, good set of tires and mechanical discs to boot. If you are looking for a classy urban commuting hybrid that keeps you plaint through your rides, the Schwinn Searcher 3 2016 is a bicycle worth looking at. We would like to thank The Cycle Store, Chennai for providing us with this bicycle for the review.
