Hello.

I'm looking to sell my MTB and get a SS jumper that I can thrash around downtown on. How would the following hold up to an urban beating? I would swap out the fork for something more beefy. I'm 5' 10" and weigh 200 lbs.


Thanks you.

It wouldn't hold up at all, that's basically just an aluminum cross country bike.

It's not quite XC, but it is a single speed with a slotted dropout whereas XC bikes have derailleur hangars and QR style slots. The frame seems to be beefier than an XC but lighter than a MTB jump bike. What's concerning is the wheel-build and those rims. They look on the light duty side of things. The high-ish top tube and long stem are also tell-tale signs that it's designed more for trail riding rather than urban.

You might want to have a look at other jump bikes with bigger frame tubes that usually come with lower top tubes, shorter stems, cromo crank arms, fat rims and a 20mm thru axle hub/fork combo before you make a final decision on that one.

It all depends on how "urban" you're gonna get with it.


Example:

Not necessarily this, but a bike with these features...

Less aluminium, more chromoly
