Hello Sir, I am confused between Montra Downtown New and Montra Helecon disc and Montra Helecon (27.5T), Which one will be great option? Also clear me Montra Helecon disc or Helecon 27.5T is hybrid cycle?
@choosemybicycle , need your expert view (regardless of the category men/hybrid) Primarily for fitness , max road distance and with occasionally rough terrain , please suggest in the order of preference Firefox Rapide 21s Montra Backbeat 27.5 Montra Helicon d 2018 BTWIN RR 340 Please do share the pros and cons.
The only difference between them is the handlebar. If you want a more relaxed riding posture then the Helicon D, if you want a more aggresive riding posture, then the Helicon X
Montra Helicon Large frame is bigger in height or length than medium frame size ? Because I saw both frames I didn't get much difference. Please let me know.
Which among these is a better option for daily fitness rides and occasional weekend ride(50km), montra helicon disk 2017 or Firefox roadrunner pro v? Picking up used example both for around 12k 2 months used. Or should I buy a new montra downtown? How does the components compare? Fd- tz30 vs tx51 Rd-ty500 vs tx500d Shifter-ef41 vs ef500
ChooseMyBicycle thanks for the reply. So all other components are comparable between those two? Also wanted to know about availability of helicon tyres as they are of different size compared to regular hydrid tyres. Also request you to start a series reviewing bicycle components similar to your bike review. It would be very useful as most of us are not aware of the differences.
I bought it yesterday....Traveled 10 km so far. I m having issue with handlebar...it is not comfortable...I ride in position that keeps my upper body weight on handlebar. So my palm get pains after just 1 km of running . Is that all such bikes have same issues? or only this Helicon? the Saddle is also not comfortable. Need Cycling shorts now.
Rahul shete yes the riding posture is such get a handlebar grip for yourself, I am using motorcycles grips cheap and best hack, changed the stem and saddle, it's now very comfortable.
I own the white helicon ,have done 200 km so far , the ride is always butter smooth and tyres are really one of its kind in a entry level hybrids , truly this bike stand apart from rest of the lot be it firefox/bianchi /btwin other hybrid montra models. I am happy with my decision of having helicon . :)
Hi Raj, you can go for Hybrid Bicycle as it will be better for long distance riding. In case the roads are bad, you can look at a Hybrid Bicycle which has a front suspension. If you let me know your budget I can suggest a few options.

Hey I have Helicon 2017. There are 3 points to notice - 1. In rough road its not a pleasant experience. 2. Helicon doesn't have hole for front mud guard. 3. Gears shifting is not that nice, especially for front. I just hate that my Helicon doesn't have any hole for front mud guard and gear shifting could have been better. Now I sometimes think that maybe I should have gone for Mad Rock... I still like my Helicon anyways.
Rapid 21S neither have front suspension. I would go with Helicon. Helicon least have disc brakes over Rapid 21S, and I think Helicon looks really classy compared to Rapid 21S. Edit: You can go with Trance if disc brakes are not important for you.

Please help me guys!
I am confused between three models - Firefox Rapid 21S / Montra Trance and Montra Helicon Disk.
I would only roam around in the city in weekends and I am looking for which has low maintenance. Occasionally I would go for long rides.
Also disk brake and suspension - Is is mandatory to have whichever one I choose? Thanks in advance.

Hey I have Helicon 2017. There are 3 points to notice -
1. In rough road its not a pleasant experience.
2. Helicon doesn't have hole for front mud guard.
3. Gears shifting is not that nice, especially for front.
I just hate that my Helicon doesn't have any hole for front mud guard and gear shifting could have been better. Now I sometimes think that maybe I should have gone for Mad Rock... I still like my Helicon anyways.
Dan xxx So Firefox Rapid 21S is a better choice I guess.
Rapid 21S neither have front suspension. I would go with Helicon. Helicon least have disc brakes over Rapid 21S, and I think Helicon looks really classy compared to Rapid 21S.
Edit: You can go with Trance if disc brakes are not important for you.
Dan xxx Thanks for your expert opinion. Looks is just awesome of Helicon D but neither Did brake nor the suspension is my priority.
In that case have a look at BSA Munich. Its cheaper too.
Do we have exclusive Montra showrooms...pl enlighten...
Montra is available at Track and Trail Stores in your city. Otherwise you can always check out all the bicycles from Montra here - www.choosemybicycle.com/en/bicycles/montra

The Firefox Rapide 21S is lighter than the Helicon Disc

Can I get this bike from ur side?
This Bicycle has been discontinued and they have launched a new variant called the Montra Chord. Here is the link - www.choosemybicycle.com/en/bicycles/montra-chord-2022
Almost 6 months purchased it from choosemybicycle was a great experience 🤘🏻,
Only two things that are bothering me ,
1: front derailleur ( its absolutely no smooth)
2: air pressure confusion, wether the tyres have less pressure or adequate and how often do I have to take it to air pump?
A compact suggestions would be helpful , Thank you.

Hi, Thank you for the compliments. With regard to your issues:
1. A basic gear tune up can be done by a local mechanic and the FD will operate smoothly.
2. The recommended Air Pressure is mentioned on the tire. You can check that and fill accordingly

If you are only going to ride on the road only then yes you can use this bicycle
What is the height of the rider in this video and what is the bicycle frame size? Is it 19 inch?
He is 5'9" and yes its a 19"
Can I drive this on mud ? I mean for a little time at least but I will be mostly using it on roads
Hi the Helicon can take a little bit of mild trails
ChooseMyBicycle what’s the difference in 2017 and 18 model ?
The difference is the Mechanical Disc Brakes. in 2017 the Helicon came with C-Star and in 2018 it has been changed to Radius Mechanical Disc Brakes
