XCi is a new Indian Bicycle brand that has entered the market recently. XCi Bicycles are known for their High Quality build and value for money price tag. We got the opportunity to test ride the XCi Acer 27.5T SS City Bicycle and here is what we thought.
Weight: 14.3kgs
Usage: Commute/Leisure
The XCi Acer 27.5T SS is a capable and easy to ride City Bicycle for Urban Commutes.
The Frame of the XCi Acer 27.5T SS has been made using Steel. Though Steel frames are typically associated with being bulky and heavy, the Acer 27.5T SS is surprisingly lightweight. The frame geometry ensures a comfortable and relaxed ‘upright’ riding position without compromising on performance. The frame has the provision to attach a water bottle holder to it.
This Bicycle is equipped with a Steel rigid fork that is lightweight and strong. The design of the fork is such that there is only minimal transfer of vibrations to the handlebar and the rider can withstand a range of riding conditions with ease.
The Steel Frame is Comfort Focused and the rider has a Open-Chested riding posture.
The XCi Acer 27.T SS that we test rode came in a primary Colour of Blue with Yellow and White as the secondary colours for the graphics and text. This colour combination is eye catchy and is sure to stand out from the crowd. This City Bike comes with Plastic Mudguards at the front and rear, which are not only useful for City riding, it also adds to the aesthetic appeal of this Bicycle.
Bright and Eye Catchy Design
The XCi Acer 27.5T comes equipped with a Single-Speed drivetrain. Pedalling was easy on flat and rough surfaces. It is a bit of a struggle to pedal on inclines which will require extra effort. The positives of a Single-Speed drivetrain is that it is easy to maintain and simple to ride.
A hassle-free Single-Speed City Bicycle
The City Bicycle from XCi comes equipped with a pair of V-Brakes. When on the test ride, we found that the brakes were extremely powerful and responsive. Feathered braking felt comfortable and stable requiring with just a light press of the brake levers to activate.
The wide handlebar ensures an ‘open-chested’ riding position that is comfortable. Additionally, the length of the handlebar ensured supreme control of the Bicycle and quick handling and maneuvering while in congested riding conditions, such as traffic ridden urban roads. The bar grips are slightly hard, but this does not affect the overall performance of the bicycle.
More than adequate stopping power with the ultra-responsive V-brakes
The XCi Acer rolls on a pair of Hi-Traction Nylon 27.5" X 1.95" tires which are attached to double walled alloy rims. The tires well treaded – thus ensuring that they are fast rolling with adequate grip for usage on flat surfaces. Cornering is balanced and safe, with the ability to take quick and sharp turns.
The stock Saddle was well cushioned and will give the rider a sore-free ride.
Well treaded, Grippy and Fast Rolling 27.5" City Tires
This City Bicycle has a strong Steel Frame with a comfortable ride geometry. The Comfort Focused Saddle, Front and Rear Mudguards and the powerful V-Brakes make this Bicycle ideal for Urban Commutes. Priced at Rs.14,000 (as on 18th July 2023), the XCi Acer 27.5T SS is the ideal Bicycle for City Commutes and Leisure Rides on Urban Roads.
