As a prominent Indian bicycle manufacturer, Firefox offers a diverse range of models tailored to suit riders of all types. Recently, we had the chance to test ride their mountain bike Firefox Bad Attitude 6.

After test-riding the Firefox Bad Attitude 6, we were thoroughly impressed and will now delve into our experience, dissecting the bike's performance across its different components.

Sturdy Steel Frame and Drivetrain

The Firefox Bad Attitude 48 cm steel frame provides a sturdy and durable foundation for tackling rough terrains. While it adds a bit of weight compared to other materials, it enhances the bike's stability and absorbs vibrations effectively.

Equipped with Microshift M21 rear derailleur and Microshift M20 front derailleur, the bike offers smooth and precise shifting through its 21-speed gear system. The Microshift TS38 shifter ensures seamless transitions between gears, allowing for effortless climbs and swift descents.

Handlebar and Stem

The steel handlebar offers a comfortable grip and control over the bike, measuring at 660mm in width. Combined with the steel threadless stem, it provides stability and responsiveness, allowing for precise steering even on challenging trails.

Suspension Fork

The mechanical suspension fork of the Firefox Bad Attitude effectively absorbs shocks and bumps, providing a smooth ride over uneven terrain. It enhances traction and control, ensuring a confident riding experience, especially on descents and technical sections.

Saddle and Seat Post

The MTB-specific saddle offers adequate cushioning and support for long rides, promoting comfort and reducing fatigue. Paired with the steel seat post, it absorbs vibrations and impacts, enhancing overall ride quality.

Tyres and Brakes

The Wanda 27.5" x 2.0" tyres balance traction and rolling efficiency. They offer excellent grip on various surfaces, including loose gravel, mud, and rocks, providing confidence-inspiring handling in different trail conditions.

The mechanical disc brakes provide dependable stopping power, ensuring precise control and modulation even in wet or muddy conditions. Their consistent performance instils confidence during high-speed descents or technical manoeuvres.
