Firefox is an Indian Bicycle brand who has been around for a long time now. From kids bicycles to Performance focused MTB’s, they have it all. Firefox has a wide range of hardtail MTB’s and we got the opportunity to test ride the Firefox Combat 27.5D speed and here is what we thought.
Weight: 15kgs
Usage: Fitness/Trail
The Firefox Combat 27.5D is a comfortable, aesthetic and performance focused hardtail MTB built for moderate trails and rough urban roads.
The Firefox Combat 27.5D is a new addition to their MTB range. This frame is built with Alloy and comes with a nice slanting top tube which ensured increased standover height for the rider which makes it safe for the rider on bumpy surfaces. The frame geometry is completely comfort focused with an open chested riding posture.
Being a Hardtail MTB, the Combat 27.5D comes with a Zoom front suspension fork with enough travel which helped tackle bad roads and bumpy surfaces easily.

The Bicycle which I test rode came in a full Grey primary colour with Blue and White graphics. The graphics were bold and racy which made the Bicycle look stylish. The matte finish paint job on the Combat was of top quality and definitely looked premium. The internal cable routing on the frame was not only aesthetic, but it also saves the cable from wear and tear.
The Combat 27.5D comes in 2 colour variants; Grey withy Blue/White and Orange with Grey
Firefox have been using microShift components on many of their newly released Bicycle models. microShift as a brand is on par with Shimano in terms of performance and quality. The Combat 27.5D comes equipped with an 8-Speed microShift M25 at the rear along with a microShift M20 3-Speed at the front. The microShift drivetrain on this Bicycle was both quick and smooth in shifting with no lag experienced during the test ride. The 24-Speed gearing system is controlled by Microshift’s TS38 trigger shifters.

The stopping power on this 27.5 inch hardtail MTB is taken care of by a pair of JAK 7 branded Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes were of good quality, the rotors and the disc plates were powerful in stopping amidst traffic and even on flat muddy surfaces.
The 680mm MTB handlebar was wide and gave optimum control for the rider when riding on fast paced flat trails and also when maneuvering sharp turns.
The JAK 7 branded Mechanical Disc brakes were powerful for muddy and wet surfaces on flat trails and roads
The Firefox Combat comes with Kenda 27.5” x 2.10” MTB tires. These tires have bulky treads and a uniform tread pattern which provided great traction on trails and flat muddy surfaces.
The stock saddle from Firefox is ergonomic in design with enough cushioning for a soreness free ride.
The Kenda 27.5” x 2.10” tires can tackle rough surfaces easily
This Alloy Hardtail MTB had a comfortable riding posture and a wide 680mm handlebar. The powerful JAK 7 Mechanical Disc brakes made it easy to stop on muddy trails and wet urban roads. The 27.5 inch Kenda tires were heavily treaded and fast rolling. The 24-Speed Microshift drivetrain was smooth in shifting and definitely on par with Shimano. Priced at Rs.28,000(as on 7th May 2022) the Firefox Combat 27.5D is an ideal choice for anyone looking to buy a MTB to venture into trail riding.
