Latest version-Schwinn Taff Mountain Bike
When testing in slippery mountains, like many referrals, it is not recommended to ride on muddy roads all the time. The muddy soil stuck to the wheels, which greatly reduced the wheels’ grip effect, which made me a little disappointed with the downhill ride.
Although it is not a perfect mountain bike, the overall mountain performance of this car combined with this price, my personal evaluation is 4 points. Enough to use.
Flat road
Taff mountain rugged road performance can reach the upper-middle level, in the road performance is also praiseworthy.
Riding on the asphalt road is not as light as imagined. Of course, this is not enough to highlight its strong grip and variable speed smooth characteristics, just like ordinary mountain bikes.
But in the lawn road or plastic runway performance, rolling resistance is reduced, and can ride faster. The same is true of gravel roads. The slow riding posture is comfortable, realizing the mount.
Product upgrade
Compared with the old version, the new version of Taff has made some improvements on the front fork. The distance between the front fork crowns of the old version is larger, and the new version of the front fork is more folded, but the weight is increased.
Even so, the front end still feels lighter when going uphill. It increases the firmness of the mountain bike and makes the whole car look smoother.
The car paint is also frosted black, gray, and silver, making it more scientific and technological. The alloy pedal replaces the plastic pedal, and the bumps on it also increase friction, so you don’t have to worry about the soles’ movement.
The handlebar’s change is the diameter of the handlebar, which has increased from 24.8 mm in the old version to 31 mm now.
The grips at both ends have also removed the fillings and become harder and more granular grips. Good grip. These upgrades make it easier for us to ride it.
