Cycling is a sport that many friends like very much; Whether it's a long journey or a short trip, a mountain bike or road bike is indispensable for a friend who likes to ride; Of course, it is not easy to choose a suitable car nowadays. There are many brands, different body configurations and different prices. As far as I choose mountain bikes, it is also very difficult. The expensive ones are tens of thousands, but the cheap ones are not good. It is really difficult to choose a good car with cost performance; This time, I would like to share with you a mountain bike with a good price performance ratio. I would not hesitate to say that it is called "Xiaomi" in the mountain bike industry; It is a smart bike owned by Beast Cycling - Beast SpeedX Mustang Mountain Bike;
Beast SpeedX Mustang Mountain Bike is an intelligent mountain bike with a carbon fiber frame and a beast intelligent central control system; Compared with ordinary mountain bikes, the biggest highlight of Beast SpeedX Mustang is that not only the body material is better (the frame adopts the combination of Japanese Toray T800 and T700), but also the intelligent central control is full of science and technology;
The overall appearance of the whole car looks very cool. The black and red temperament is more suitable for boys. This mountain bike has three frame sizes: 15/17/19 inches. Of course, you can choose the size that suits you according to your height or span height. What I experience is the beast SpeedX Mustang 19 inch frame; Now let's share with you our own riding experience and views on this bike~
First, let's talk about the riding experience of friends on this mountain bike:
Zhang (friend of the cycling club): 175 in height, 2 years of riding experience without height measurement
Collection of essays: Is this car made of carbon fiber? I can't believe it. It weighs the same as my mountain bike (its car is aluminum alloy frame). It should be more than 25 kg, right? The appearance of the car is quite handsome, I really like it. The handles are hard, and the cushion is also hard. I feel uncomfortable. In addition, the car is too tall, and 17 inches suits me; The price is OK, and the carbon fiber material is too fake;
Ling (younger brother): 178 in height, riding a mountain bike for the first time without height measurement (the bike I used to ride before)
Summary of essays: The cushion is too hard, and your buttocks will ache after you ride. The speed of riding is fast, the brake is too sensitive, and you almost fell. There is no mudguard, and you are covered with mud. The appearance is beautiful. Give it to me;
Author's comprehensive recommendation index ★★★★ (full of five stars): reason: intelligent central control plus points~
As far as the author's experience is concerned: First, let's talk about the disadvantages: the cushion also feels hard (if you want to buy this mountain bike, it is recommended to buy a cushion cover); The yellow astigmatic film in the pedal is easy to fall off; There are few intelligent central control functions, which are not as powerful as what was said when it was released~
Of course, compared with the disadvantages, there are many advantages: the packaging is perfect, and the car assembly is very convenient; The car is cool and handsome, with complete accessories (including night headlights). The central control code meter records and positioning are relatively accurate. It is good to connect the central control synchronization data through the APP. Personally, I think it is also very good in terms of body quality. Compared with my previous cars, I can clearly feel the advantages and disadvantages (of course, the price is not the same gear). The speed is fast enough, the speed is sensitive, and the chain is not jammed, The experience is still very good, and the advantages over cars at the same price are also obvious~I will share with you in detail below~
First, let's talk about its appearance. There is only one kind of appearance color of beast SpeedX Mustang, black and red, cool and bright; Compared with other brands of mountain bikes, the appearance is more durable. The brake and circuit wiring inside the car adopt the built-in hidden wiring mode, which makes the frame look very neat; Since the frame size is 19 inches, it occupies more space than other cars;
The frame of Beast SpeedX Mustang Mountain Bike is made of carbon fiber. According to the official introduction of Beast Cycling, it is the combination of Japanese Toray T800 and T700. In addition, the frame with two bottles of mineral water weight officially introduced does not refer to this Beast SpeedX Mustang Mountain Bike, but refers to road vehicles; The whole weight of this mountain bike is 25 kg, which is not much different from the price of aluminum alloy; Of course, in terms of hardness, carbon fiber material performance is significantly higher than aluminum alloy;
Since the Beast SpeedX Mustang mountain bike is equipped with an intelligent module, the first thing to talk about is its circuit. In addition, this is also something worth noting for Beast users: there is a circuit module under the cushion, and the socket in the frame needs to be connected with the interface under the cushion tube during installation to start the intelligent central control; The cushion tube rod is provided with an integrated tail lamp and a charging interface;
The length of the cushion tube pole is relatively moderate. The author measured it. For 19 inch mountain bikes, the height from the pedal to the cushion is about 70cm. For 17 inch mountain bikes, the cushion tube pole can be extended to the lowest height of 19 inch; Of course, if you want to buy a mountain bike that fits your own size, you'd better choose the size that just fits your own according to the span height (that is, the distance between the hip and the foot when sitting). Of course, you can also choose roughly according to the height: For general mountain bikes, 19 inches can be selected for those above 175, but the 19 inch mountain bike is relatively high for those above 180; (Tips on shopping)
As soon as the interface on the seat cushion is inserted, the intelligent central control will start immediately. The intelligent central control uses a high-resolution color screen, the size of the screen is only the size of a watch, but the display number is large enough to look very clear, providing automatic recording of 10 cycling data, such as speed, mileage, pedal frequency, height, calories, weather, etc, In addition, it is said that GPS track and navigation functions will be provided in the later stage, and optimization and upgrading are also expected;
The central control can be turned on through the lower setting button. In addition, the APP can also be set to automatically turn on the car when it vibrates. There is no power off button. Generally, the default is that the car will automatically sleep in the power off state after five minutes of inactivity; The central control display screen is equipped with LED lights for power display, which can roughly remind the user how much power is left. In addition, the LED lights flash successively during charging, indicating that charging is in progress. Five LED lights are always on after charging is completed~
The reason why the intelligent central control can detect the riding data of mountain bike depends on the sensing device on the rear wheel and left pedal: the speed sensing magnet and the speed pedal frequency receiver have been installed on the rear wheel rim before leaving the factory. The user needs to install the pedal frequency sensing magnet to the hexagonal hole on the inside of the left pedal when assembling the car. After assembly, a slight test can be made to check whether the recorded data is accurate;
There is a mounting hole for the night light under the central control. The beast will give the night light as a gift. The user can operate and install the night light according to the instructions in the user manual. The night light is firmly installed and in a moderate position. What is worth complaining about is that there is a non fitting hole in the two small screws, so the night light can only be fastened by one screw;
The whole body adopts a hidden wiring design, so that no extra lines can be seen in the frame, making the whole vehicle look very beautiful and clean. In addition, from another perspective - it is also convenient to lift the car, and the handlebar will not touch the wiring, which is more convenient to pick up, and will not let the wiring touch the hand;
Not much to say, let's talk about this intelligent mountain bike through riding experience:
The Beast SpeedX Mustang tire uses CTS 1918. For mountainous or steep roads, this mountain bike is not very stable when driving, but it can be directly used for roads with hump deceleration on the plane, which is relatively stable. In addition, because the cushion is relatively hard, there may be some pain in the buttocks when driving in these roads;
Tips for cycling: For professional outdoor cycling users, it is better to change the tires a little better~ordinary users can ignore it;
In addition, as for the handlebar of the hand-held part, I think the comfort is very good, with a sense of graininess and comfortable grip; Of course, because the handlebar cover is made of rubber, the rubber may fall off in a particularly hot day. This problem was raised by the user, but from the author's riding experience, this kind of situation has not occurred;
▲ The brake and handlebar tilt at a certain angle, which is convenient to use. In addition, the brake adopts dual disc brake, which is relatively sensitive; The beast brake is the same as the domestic standard brake, that is, the left hand brake controls the rear wheel, and the right hand brake controls the front wheel; Of course, beasts are also sold overseas, and the brake type is just the opposite;
Riding tips: In case of emergency braking, brake the rear wheel first and then the front wheel, otherwise it is easy to roll over;
For the uphill section, if the gradient is very steep, it is generally recommended to use gear 2 * 5 for uphill, which is labor-saving. Beast mountain bike climbing is very easy, and its speed regulation has a total of 30 speeds to choose from: gear 3 * 10. For the highest gear, it can travel very fast on a flat road, and it can travel very far when you step on it. Of course, the foot force in the highest gear is slightly greater, For long-distance cycling users, it is best to change gears for cycling;
Beast SpeedX Mustang dental disc adopts the special SPEED dental disc jointly customized by Haomeng and Beast - 42-32-24t three piece dental disc;
The shimano M610 kit is used as the transmission, which is good for beginner riding; It is worth mentioning that the rear wheel gear is professionally adjusted before it is delivered to the user, so the user generally does not need to adjust the rear wheel gear. Of course, there may also be problems with the speed adjustment of the car. If you can adjust it yourself, it is very simple; If not, you'd better go to the car store for adjustment;
For the downhill section, as the beast SpeedX Mustang is still running fast, pay attention to the brake;
Mountain biking, of course, has to return to mountain roads. For flat mountain roads, it is basically the same as driving on roads. SpeedX Mustang is very stable; For mountainous sections with many stones and obstacles on the road, it is also more comfortable to ride wild animals, which depends on its shock absorption device:
The front fork of the shock absorber adopts the ROCKSHOX XC28 TK100 mountain bike oil spring front fork, which can be locked by shoulder control; According to common sense, this kind of front fork can be modified into double air chambers to achieve better shock absorption effect. Of course, modification is not professional level, so don't act rashly; In addition, I saw the user complain that the blue shoulder control does not match the style of the whole car. In fact, it is not the case. The ROCKSHOX XC28 front fork shoulder control on the market is blue, and it is difficult to change this beast~
As far as night travel is concerned, night travel is a must for long-distance travel and cycling. Many cyclists may prefer night travel. The author is one of them. It may be very easy and not hot to ride at night; For night travel, you have to choose a better night light and tail light:
As far as the customized night light presented by the beast is concerned, its quality and performance are good. The body shell is relatively hard and light, with a built-in 3000mA large capacity rechargeable battery, which supports IP6 waterproof and two light source modes; What is the concept of 3000mA battery life? The author first filled it and then rode for five days with electricity; In addition, it is very bright under the bright light source. The author has made a comparison with the electric vehicle, which is actually brighter than the electric vehicle, but the electric vehicle is a warm light source;
In addition, as far as the tail lamp is concerned, it adopts an embedded structure, which is integrated with the sitting bar, and has a USB charging interface below; It is very bright both in the day and at night. When driving, the tail lamp and the central control are turned on at the same time. The tail lamp flashes when driving normally. Of course, there is no need to worry about the tail lamp being out of power, because it can be charged directly with the power bank, which is very convenient;
When it comes to intelligence, we can't talk about its interconnection with the mobile phone. Beast started as a cycling app, so it's not surprising that this smart mountain bike is equipped with a customized app. The mobile phone is connected to the mountain bike through the central control module: the mobile phone can synchronize the mountain bike's driving track and cycling data to the APP;
Here are the steps to connect the smart central control to the mobile phone:
There is a small rectangular button on both sides of the intelligent central control. On the left is the operation button, and on the right is the Bluetooth pairing button. When connecting with the mobile phone for the first time, first turn on the mobile phone Bluetooth, and then long press the right Bluetooth button of the central control to wait for automatic pairing. Of course, you can also connect the mountain bike Bluetooth in the mobile phone Bluetooth settings; After the Bluetooth connection is successful, there will be a successful pairing display on the central control display. After the first pairing, there is no need to pair again for the next connection. After the phone Bluetooth is turned on, the central control can be automatically connected;
After the mobile phone is connected to the intelligent central control, the cycling data can be synchronized to the APP. In addition, because the central control has a GPS positioning function, it can also view the cycling track and cycling data through the APP. After several days of cycling, I think the cycling track is very accurate; Of course, the central control has no navigation function at present, and it needs to use mobile phones to coordinate navigation; This is a bit disappointing for users;
The author checked the accuracy of its intelligent central control record riding data and track through several riding experiences: taking the surrounding of the school as the main track, he circled the school several times, and compared the track on the APP map with the actual riding route, its positioning was very accurate, and the riding track displayed by the APP basically matched the main road track;
Of course, the APP function is very powerful. Even if you don't use Beast Mountain Bike, you can use this cycling app. It has map display and data record, which will not be introduced one by one. The main purpose is to let you know about its intelligent connection with Beast Smart Bike. When synchronizing cycling data to the APP, the APP needs to share the cycling experience to the circle of friends or other social circles;
After a long ride test, I think this mountain bike is worth buying, especially for beginners. It is also good as a beginner. The price has obvious advantages over other major mountain bike brands. Mountain bikes with the same material and configuration undoubtedly have a strong cost performance ratio. It is not too much to say that it is "Xiaomi" in the mountain bike industry, Personally, if you like cycling, you need a professional mountain bike. The Beast SpeedX Mustang is worth considering. It is not only high in configuration, but also full of science and technology. I believe you will like it. Of course, this is just my suggestion; If you only use it as a transport, you can choose a slightly cheaper car;
As for the advantages and disadvantages of this car, I didn't say much at the beginning. At the end, I had to say that although this car is intelligent, it is not as powerful as the beast press conference said. There are still some functions that are not available. I look forward to the improvement and perfection of the beast~
