United Clovis 3.10 27.5: ChooseMyBicycle.com Expert Review

The United Clovis 3.10 27.5 comes with a hydroformed aluminium frame with internal cable routing. Both the top tube and bottom tube aren’t circular, they are flat which makes the tubes sleek and keep the weight in check.

During the test ride the Suntour XCM32 Boost front suspension fork with its massive 120mm travel was impressive both on harsh urban roads and rough trails. The Suspension lockout was a useful feature for efficient riding on smooth and flat surfaces.

The United Clovis 3.10 27.5 which I test rode came with Black as the primary colour on the frame with Red as the secondary colour. The gloss finish paint job definitely enhanced the colour schemes to make it look shining. The internal cable routing made the bicycle look neat and the colour coordinated rims and fork made it look aesthetic.

The gearing in the United Clovis 3.10 27.5 is handled by a Shimano Alivio 2-Speed at the front and Shimano Alivio 9-Speed at the rear. Having 9 gears at the rear ensures extended rage of speed which provides more power. The Shimano Altus 18-Speed rapid gear shifters were easy to use.

The stopping power in the United Clovis 3.10 27.5 is taken care of by a pair of Shimano MT200 Hydraulic Disc brakes. These Disc brakes are powerful and balanced and felt safe to engage even at high speeds during the test ride.

The United alloy handlebar is lengthy with a 740mm width and a very slight rise from the middle. This is a perfect MTB handlebar which means a comfortable and open chested riding posture giving great control over the Bicycle during fast paced trail rides.

The Maxxis Ardent MTB tires impressed us during the test ride. The 27.5” x 2.25” tires were heavily treaded with bulky buttons and covered the edges as well. These tires were fast rolling on flatter surfaces and could handle rough patches with ease. The stock trail specific saddle was wide with enough cushioning.
