>The Mach City iBike HT 2017 is built on a full steel frame. This is the same as the iBike rigid. The comfort frame geometry makes sure the body posture of the rider is perfect for a relaxed ride. The good thing about this frame is that, the weight of this steel frame is not felt during the ride. This is very important for a cycle that is meant for all age groups to ride in the city. The fork in the iBike HT 2017 is a suspension threadless fork. The main difference in threaded and threadless is the stiffness. Threadless setups offers a stiffer setup than threaded. Threaded usually also more aesthetically pleasing, but threadless is more practical as it makes the swapping of stems and bars easier. The suspension worked minimally but it did give a little extra comfort while riding over speed breakers.
> The design on the iBike HT 2017 is simple and elegant. The welded edges on the frame looked neat. The tubing is neither rounded nor squared. The edges of the tubes were shaped well which enhanced the looks of this bicycle. The HT 2017 which I test rode came in a full black colour. The HT comes in only 1 colour variant. The gloss paint job was perfect. The suspension fork which was also in full black blended perfectly with the bicycle.
> The Mach City iBike HT 2017 is a single speed bicycle. The chain, cassette and cranks are the same as the iBike Single speed rigid fork. This bicycle comes with a 44T cotterless chain wheel and 17cm crank. Many older bicycles use wedge-shaped fasteners called "cotters" to hold the cranks onto the bottom bracket axle. These cotters have a nut to hold them in place after they have been driven or pressed in. They can be difficult to remove, especially if they have been in place for a long time. The iBike HT has gone cotterless which means the axle is integrated making it easy to remove and repair in the future. The pedaling was smooth and wasn’t too difficult to accelerate on city streets.
