Conway MS 260 suspension

The "MS 260 suspension" model from Conway, released in 2023, is a bike that stands out for its well-thought-out features and excellent value for money. Priced at 399 euros, it offers a solid foundation for young riders looking for a reliable and well-equipped mountain bike. The frame is made of aluminium in a diamond design with a size of 31 cm, which contributes to the bike’s lightness; it has a total weight of 12 kg. The maximum load capacity is 80 kg, which is sufficient for the target audience.

The braking system consists of SACCON ‘V-Brake’ brakes fitted at the front and rear, complemented by TEKTRO brake levers, ensuring reliable braking performance. Gear changes are handled by a 9-speed SHIMANO “Altus” system, operated via the SHIMANO “Altus SL-M370” shifter. This combination enables precise and smooth gear changes, which is particularly advantageous when riding off-road.

The SUNTOUR “M3030” fork, with 63 mm of travel, ensures comfort and control on uneven terrain. The drivetrain is provided by a KMC “X9” chain, whilst the aluminium crankset, with 32 teeth and a length of 160 mm, and the SHIMANO “HG200” cassette with 11–34 teeth ensure efficient power transfer.

The handlebars are a junior model with a width of 580 mm, fitted with CONWAY “Junior” grips, which, together with the ONE Sport A-Head stem, enable comfortable and safe steering. The rims are CONWAY hollow-wall “J 19” models, fitted with SCHWALBE “CX Comp” tyres in size 50-559, which are fitted to both the front and rear wheels and ensure good traction and stability.

The hubs are made of aluminium by KT with quick-release (QR) mechanisms at both the front and rear, which makes maintenance easier. The saddle is the CONWAY “Junior” model, mounted on a ONE Sport seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm, ensuring a comfortable riding position. Overall, the Conway “MS 260 suspension” offers a well-balanced package for young mountain bike enthusiasts who value quality and riding enjoyment.
