Frog is an Indian Bicycle brand. Their range includes Hybrid, MTB and City Bicycles for Men, Women and Children. This fairly new entrant to the Indian Bicycle market has come out with an extensive range with numerous designs and colours. We got the opportunity to test ride the Frog Trooper 700C and here is what we thought.
Weight: 14.7 kgs
Usage: Fitness/Commute
A comfortable alloy hybrid bicycle with front suspension with lockout for riding on smooth and rough roads.
The Frog Trooper 700C is built on a lightweight Alloy frame. This frame had thin tubes with neatly welded edges. The conventional geometry was comfortable to ride with a slanting top tube. The frame was responsive and definitely helped ride fast and contributed to easy climbing on flyovers and other road inclines.
The Zoom 120E front suspension fork is smooth in working and also come with a useful lockout feature which allows you to ride faster on flatter and smoother roads.
This lightweight Alloy frame comes in a standard 17.5” frame size
The Trooper 700C which I test rode came in a full Dark Green frame with Black as the secondary colour for the text and graphics. The matte finish paint job along with the contrasting Black/Green colours made the bicycle look simple yet elegant. The adjustable quill stem, front/rear quick release on wheels and colour coded saddle immensely enhanced the aesthetics of this bicycle.
The Trooper 700C comes in 2 colour variants; Matte Black with Green graphics and Matte Dark Green with Black graphics
The Frog Trooper 700C is equipped with Shimano’s Tourney at the front and rear as derailleurs. This is an entry-level Hybrid Bicycle groupset from Shimano and the derailleurs shifted smoothly during the test ride with no lags, perfect for fast and longer rides. The Shimano EZFire 21-Speed derailleurs were smooth to operate.

This Hybrid bicycle’s stopping power is handled by a pair of C-Star Mechanical Disc brakes at the front and rear. These brakes were powerful, safe and balanced on both dry and wet roads. Both interval braking and jamming of the brakes felt in control when used during the test ride.
The Alloy handlebar on this bicycle was both comfortable and wide enough to give the rider an ‘open-chested’ riding posture. The handlebar angle can be adjusted thanks to the adjustable quill type stem.
The C-Star Mechanical Disc brakes were safe and balanced to use on Dry and Wet roads
The Trooper rolls on a pair of 700x35C DSI branded tires. These tires were fast rolling on Urban roads and the tread pattern was ideal to get good traction on rough roads.
The stock Frog Saddle was wide and had a lot of cushioning to make sure the rider is comfortable and soreness free on bumpy rides.

Priced at Rs.21,499(as on 3rd January 2020) the Frog Trooper 700C is an ideal choice for anyone looking to buy a bicycle for fast commutes and long rides for fitness purposes.
