For many, the bike was not just a hobby, but a serious hobby. This is good, because cycling helps to restore balance in the soul, cope with internal stress and constantly keep your muscles in good shape. For those who do not yet have such an aggregate, you need to fix this as soon as possible. Today we will get acquainted with the Stels navigator 750. We need to consider what it is, what its specifications and reviews are.
A little about Stealth
Stels navigator 750 is a typical mountain bike of a budget level, which is typical for this brand. Mountain miners are divided into two types: double suspensions and hardtail. "Navigator 750" refers to the latter. "Hardtail" in translation from English means "strong back". That is, he does not have a suspension on the rear wheel. Such transport is perfect for cross-country skiing (forest paths, ups and downs, mud and puddles). It will also be nice to behave on broken village primers. If you choose from the entire range of products of the company "Stealth", then it is best to buy just the hardtail. The product quality is to blame. Therefore, of all the bikes, the Stels navigator 750 is a pretty good choice. A good bike with two suspensions costs from five hundred to a thousand dollars, but not a couple of thousand rubles.
Stels navigator 750: frame specifications
The design has a typical geometry (according to many cyclists, the best). An ordinary triangle provides good strength, which is very necessary for miners, and convenience. The frame is available in several sizes. Before buying, it is worth checking with the seller about the size of this item. It is available in sizes from seventeen to twenty-one inches. This means that the bike can suit both a teenager and an adult. The frame itself is made of aluminum alloy. If we talk about the advantages, then aluminum is lighter than ordinary steel, but slightly inferior in strength. Another important quality is corrosion resistance, which, unfortunately, is not available in steel.
Suspension
As already mentioned, the Stels navigator 750 is a hardtail. This means that he only has a front suspension fork. Now there are such units on all mountain bikes. In theory, such a plug should pick up and soften many of the bumps and vibrations generated when riding on an uneven surface. A very noble cause for a miner. In fact, cheap Chinese forks play almost no role. The working stroke of the fork is one hundred millimeters (for the most ordinary bicycles, it is about eighty millimeters). This data, of course, can be overstated. The fact is that the spring-elastomeric structure is very inefficient. It does not dampen a huge amount of vibration. But such forks are very heavy. Conclusion: if you need maximum ride comfort, you must either replace the depreciation, or find another model.
Wheels and brakes
Wheels are an important part of the bike. Typically in a mountain, the rim diameter is twenty-six inches. But there is a Stels navigator 750 bike with a rim of twenty seven and a half inches. This is a very unpopular format, so it’s best to take the most ordinary Navigator 750 model. And then the format is twenty-seven and a half more difficult to find cameras, tires, knitting needles and so on. The brakes are disc. Now few people produce mountain bikes with rim brakes. "Navigator 750" is no exception.
Stels navigator 750 reviews
Despite some significant shortcomings of the "Stealth", you can not call it a bad bike. All because this unit is purchased mainly by amateurs. It makes no sense for them to invest a lot of money in a bicycle, on which they will ride once a month or just ride in the park in the evening. Therefore, the purchase of "Stealth" is a good solution for ordinary lovers. For this style of riding, he was created. On too rough terrain he will not go far, but on good and well-trodden primers he will go without problems. It’s best to forget about jumping. And it is not a matter of poor depreciation, but of cheap bushings. They may bend or break. Then you have to take your bike to the master and buy a new part, and this is not a very cheap pleasure. Stels navigator 750 is normally balanced on the basis of price - quality. For the kind of money you can’t find a better one. But to be honest, such a unit is not suitable for serious pokatushek, because it is not designed for this. Chinese parts can fail at any time.
