Recently, cycling began to develop rapidly. And this is correct, since it is an environmentally friendly and relatively inexpensive mode of transport. In addition, this method of movement helps to keep fit. You can ride a bicycle to work or study. But for this you need a suitable bike. Not everyone has the opportunity to store it at home or at work. In such situations, the STELS Pilot 710 folding bike is a good option. Below you can find basic information about this model.
General information about the STELS Pilot 710
A characteristic feature of this bike is that it can be folded in half, so you can save space in the apartment. The owner does not need to constantly look for specialized parking for him. When folded, Stealth can fit in the pantry of a house or next to a workplace.
The STELS Pilot 710 is an urban bike, that is, it is designed to ride on good surfaces. But if necessary, the "Pilot 710" can pass on the dirt road.
It is intended for teenagers and adults. The 16-inch frame will be too big for children. A significant drawback of the STELS Pilot 710 is its severity. With factory equipment, it weighs a little more than 16 kilograms.
Equipment
Its frame is made of steel. Therefore it is so heavy. But on the other hand, steel frames are cheaper than modern aluminum counterparts, which will appeal to people on a budget. The folding bike is pretty simple. There is a special latch on the spring. She does not allow the frame to form during the ride.
There is no depreciation on the Stealth Pilot 710. There is an ordinary rigid-type plug (rigid). It is lightweight and reliable.
The STELS Pilot 710 is equipped with 24 inch wheels (as on some mountain bikes). And it gives some pros and cons. On the one hand, this size allows you to quickly pick up speed and overcome the asphalt roughness, and on the other - takes up more space. Typically, 20-inch wheels are put on storage. This is a compromise between mobility and compactness.
The basis for the safety of every bike is its braking system. And here the company "Stealth" clearly saved. The bike is equipped with just a rear foot brake (pedaling back). This kind is not very effective. Unlike rim or disc brakes, it does not have the ability to slow down. Also, with a sharp lock of the rear wheel at high speed, the bike may slightly drag.
By type of transmission, the STELS Pilot 710 belongs to single speed. These are bikes with only one speed. Only one sprocket is installed on the front and rear.
Additions
To prevent clothes from clinging to the chain, the manufacturer puts special protection on the “Pilot 710”. So the clothes do not spoil.
Since this is a city bike, it should be suitable for everyday needs. For this, this bike is equipped with a boot. There are good wings to protect against dirt and puddles.
The ride comfort also depends on the saddle. Here, Stealth took care of the customers. A wide faux leather saddle will hide asphalt bumps thanks to two springs.
For safe movement around the city you need to be able to give sound signals. Therefore, they immediately ring the bike. There are also reflectors in front and behind so that the Stealth can be seen from afar in the dark.
