Green’s Royal Ascot

The “Royal Ascot” model from the “Green’s” brand, released in 2020, is a versatile bicycle suitable for both everyday use and longer rides. Priced at 799 EUR, it offers good value for money. The frame is made of aluminium, giving the bike a robust yet lightweight structure. The total weight is 17 kg, which is well within the normal range for a bike in this category.

The Royal Ascot’s specifications are well thought-out and functional. It is fitted with Magura HS11 hydraulic rim brakes, which ensure reliable braking performance at both the front and rear. In addition, the bike features a coaster brake, providing a further safety option. Gear changes are controlled via a Nexus 8-speed hub, operated by a Nexus twist grip, which allows for simple and intuitive handling.

The suspension fork provides additional comfort on uneven terrain, whilst the suspension seat post effectively absorbs shocks. The lighting system comprises an AXA Blueline 30 Lux LED front light and a rear brake light, both of which are powered by a hub dynamo, ensuring a reliable and low-maintenance power supply.

The crankset has 38 teeth, and the aluminium hollow-wall rims are eyeleted, which contributes to the stability and durability of the wheels. The Schwalbe Road Cruiser tyres, size 42-622, offer good grip and riding comfort. Stainless steel spokes and a 28-inch wheel set complete the bike.

Other practical features include the adjustable stem, which allows the rider to customise the handlebar position, and a side stand for easy parking. The aluminium luggage rack with a flap offers ample space for carrying luggage or shopping. Plastic mudguards protect against splashes and dirt.

Overall, the Royal Ascot from Green’s offers solid build quality and reliable engineering, making it an ideal companion for a wide variety of rides.
