Green’s Wales

The “Wales” model from the “Green’s” brand, released in 2020, is a versatile bicycle that stands out for its robust build and attractive value for money. Priced at 749 EUR, it offers a combination of functionality and comfort. The bike’s frame is made of aluminium, which gives the model a certain lightness without compromising on stability. The total weight is 16 kg, which can be considered moderate for a bike in this class.

The ‘Wales’ 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, which provides extra safety. The gear system is a Nexus 8-speed hub gear, operated by a Nexus twist grip, which ensures smooth gear changes. The rigid fork contributes to the bike’s robustness and requires little maintenance.

The bike’s lighting system is well thought out: an AXA Blueline 30 Lux LED front light ensures good visibility when cycling at night, whilst the rear light ensures visibility even when the bike is stationary. Power for the lights is generated by a hub dynamo, providing a reliable source of energy without the need for batteries.

The crankset is fitted with a 38T chainring, which enables a balanced gear ratio. The adjustable stem allows the rider to customise the handlebar position, thereby optimising riding comfort. The aluminium hollow-section eyeleted rims, combined with Schwalbe Road Cruiser tyres (42-622), offer a stable and comfortable ride on a wide variety of surfaces. The stainless steel spokes contribute to the durability of the 28-inch wheels.

Other practical features of the “Wales” include a fixed seat post, plastic mudguards to protect against dirt and water, a side stand for easy parking, and a luggage rack with the MIK system, which allows bags and baskets to be easily attached and removed. This combination of high-quality components and well-thought-out details makes the “Wales” an excellent choice for both everyday journeys and longer rides alike.
