Cycle and Work
The Java J-Air Fuoco 105 is a full carbon UCI certified Road bicycle built for serious and fast road cycling and racing.
Java is an International Bicycle brand with a wide range of MTB’s, Hybrid and Road Bicycles. This brand forayed into India a few years back and has had a consistent release of new Bicycle models every year. Java is known for its stylish design and value for money components. We got the opportunity to test ride the Race Ready Java J-Air Fuoco 105 and here is what we thought.
Weight: 9kgs
Usage: Racing/Fitness
Frame, Fit and Comfort
This lightweight Aerodynamic Carbon frame weighs only 9kgs
The Java J-Air Fuoco 105 is built on a super lightweight full Carbon frame. The geometry is race focused and is aggressive, which is needed for fast and compact rides. This frame has a tapered head tube, smoothly welded frame and an integrated seat post clamp. The aero dynamic tube profiles help in the smooth reintegration of air. This full Carbon frame is UCI certified thus making is eligible for professional races. The Aero flattened carbon fork was bladed and helped with keeping the front of the bicycle light.
Design
This Bicycle comes in 4 colour variants; Red, Golden, Blue and Titanium Grey
Java’s designs are cutting edge and futuristic with smooth welding of the tubes. The Bicycle I test rode came in a Titanium Grey matte finish frame with Dark Grey as the secondary colour. The flat aero tube profiles along with the bladed carbon fork and an integrated seat tube clamp immensely enhanced the aesthetics of this Road Bike.
Gearing
The Shimano 105, 2x11-Speed derailleurs worked well and had enough depth for quick acceleration and climbs
The J-Air Fuoco 105 is equipped with a full Shimano 105 R7000 road drivetrain. 105 sits beneath Dura-Ace, Ultegra and Di2 in the Shimano road hierarchy. During the test ride both at the front and rear, the gears shift cleanly, smoothly and quietly. I never missed a gear or felt the shifter being unresponsive when I needed to change gears quickly. The 2x11-Speed integrated Shimano 105 shifters were easy to use with feather light pushes to change the gears.
Brakes and Steering
The Deca’s Disc brakes with 105 brake levers made the braking experience safe and responsive
The Deca Disc brakes handle the braking power on the J-Air Fuoco. These brakes were lightweight components and powerful on flat tarmacs and balanced even on wet roads.
The Deca Alloy drop handlebars was of perfect length for optimum control over the Bicycle on steep turns and also gives a compact riding posture.
Wheels and Saddle
The 700x25C Michelin Dynamic Sport Road tires are long lasting and give good traction on tarmacs
The Michelin Dynamic Sport 700x25C slick tires on the J-Air Fuoco 105 are race specific tires built to be lightweight and reliable. These tires make sure it gives maximum traction on dry and wet tarmacs. They are well supported by lightweight deep-dish Decaf rims.
The Saddle was not only stylish, but has a level of support and cushioning that suits the rider on faster rides just as much as long distance rides. The integrated seat post clamp was shaped aerodynamically.
Overall Rating
- Lightweight UCI approved full Carbon frame and fork
- Full Shimano 105 R7000 series drivetrain
- A Tektro or Shimano disc brake set was expected at this price for better braking performance
