A single-speed bicycle, ideal for commuting and short leisure rides
Kross bikes is a part of the Hero Eco group. The Brand has an extensive range of bicycles for kids and adults that feature aerodynamic designs, mesmerizing graphics, and hi-tech features. We got to test the Kross Glamour, and here are our thoughts.
Frame, Fit and Comfort
A simple, woman-specific city bicycle.
The Kross Glamour is made using a traditional steel frame. The welds on the frame are relatively smooth, making it a reliable sturdy bicycle for city rides and commuting. This is a no-nonsense single speed bicycle. The bicycle comes with an attached front basket which can be used to hold personal belongings while on a ride.
This bicycle has been designed for women riders who are looking for a complete upright, comfortable riding position. The low, step-through frame offers easy mounting and dismounting of this bicycle.
Design
Peppy and eye-catching.
The Kross Glamour is well designed with a low step through frame, and a uniquely shaped top tube, which adds to the appeal of the bicycle. The bicycle is available in two colour variants – a light pink and a light blue. The glossy finish on the bicycle adds to the aesthetics and has impressive quality. The attached basket at the front of the bicycle also adds to the overall aesthetics of this bicycle.
Gearing
A smooth, no-fuss single speed bicycle.
The Kross Glamour is a single speed bicycle, which is perfect for traveling in the city. Though a single-speed bicycle, the pedalling was found to be seamless and smooth.
As is with many single speed bicycles, riding on hilly terrains/ on elevations will require additional leg power.
Brakes and Steering
Adequate stoppage power for city usage
The Kross Glamour comes equipped with alloy V-Brakes, which was found to be adequate for city usage, across most weather conditions. The handlebar on this bicycle is ergonomically designed, with a slight curvature to ensure a comfortable and upright riding position.
Ride Quality
Smooth rolling 26” wheels.
This bicycle comes equipped with 26” tires which are smooth-rolling and comfortable on the roads. The saddle was slightly on the harder side, and might be uncomfortable if ridden for long periods of time.
