Conway MS 200 Rigid

The "MS 200 Rigid" model from Conway, released in 2021, is a bicycle that stands out for its robust construction and well-thought-out features. Priced at 379 EUR, it offers good value for money for young cyclists. The frame is made of aluminium, which gives the bike a solid foundation whilst keeping it lightweight. The maximum rider weight is 45 kg, making it ideal for younger riders.

The brakes are TEKTRO “AL855” V-brakes, which, in combination with the TEKTRO brake levers, provide reliable braking performance. Gear shifting is handled by a SHIMANO “RD-FT35” system with 7 speeds, which can be operated via the SHIMANO “SL-RS45” shift lever. This setup allows for easy and precise gear selection, making it particularly suitable for beginners.

The bike’s fork is an aluminium unicrown fork which, in combination with the CONWAY “J 19” hollow-wall rims and the SCHWALBE “CX Comp” tyres (47-406) at both the front and rear, ensures a stable and comfortable ride. The hubs are made of aluminium and feature a quick-release (QR) mechanism, which makes maintenance and changing wheels easier. The black steel spokes complement the robust design.

The bottom bracket is by THUN, whilst the aluminium crankset, with 32 teeth and a length of 127 mm, ensures efficient power transfer. The cassette is a SHIMANO “HG20”, and the drivetrain is completed by a KMC “Z50” chain.

Rider comfort is ensured by a CONWAY “Junior” saddle, mounted on a ONE Sport seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm. The handlebars, also in a youth size with a width of 500 mm, and the CONWAY “Junior” grips offer comfortable handling and control. The stem is a ONE Sport A-Head model, which, together with the EC34 / EC34 headset, ensures stable steering.

In summary, the Conway MS 200 Rigid is a well-equipped youth bike that impresses with its high-quality components and solid build. It is ideal for young cyclists looking for a reliable and easy-to-handle bike.
