Green’s Hastings

The “Hastings” model from the “Green’s” brand, released in 2020, is a sturdy and functional bicycle priced at 459 EUR. It features a sturdy aluminium frame and weighs a total of 16 kg, making it a relatively light bike in its category. The braking system consists of a combination of Shimano V-brakes and a coaster brake, which together ensure reliable braking performance.

The bike features a Nexus 7-speed gear system with a Nexus twist shifter, which allows for simple and effective gear changes. The rigid fork contributes to the bike’s robustness, whilst lighting is provided by an AXA 15 lux LED sensor front light and a rear parking light. A hub dynamo provides the necessary power supply, eliminating the need for batteries.

The 38-tooth crankset works in harmony with the fixed-position stem and the fixed seatpost to provide a stable riding position. The aluminium hollow-section rims are fitted with Kenda tyres in size 42-622, which feature reflective strips for added visibility in traffic. Bright-zinc-plated spokes and a 28-inch wheelset complete the overall look.

Practical features such as plastic mudguards and a side stand enhance the bike’s everyday usability. The aluminium luggage rack with a flap offers additional storage space for daily errands or short trips. Overall, the “Hastings” model is a well-thought-out choice for cyclists looking for a reliable and low-maintenance bike for everyday use.
