Montra have a complete range of MTB, Hybrid and Electric Bicycles. Hybrid Bicycles from Montra have always been successful with many popular models. We got the opportunity to test ride the Montra Chord and here is what we thought.
Weight: 14.3kgs
Usage: Commute/Fitness
The Montra Chord is a stylish, fast and comfortable to ride Hybrid Bicycle built for urban commutes and fitness rides.
The Montra Chord is built on a full Aluminium Alloy frame. The frame geometry is basic and had a cut and slanted top tube which made sure the riding posture is comfortable and relaxed. This Bicycle is categorized as an Urban Sport Hybrid and that is because of this Alloy frame capability to handle rough city roads as the Alloy frame can take some amount of vibration of the surface.
This Aluminium Alloy frame comes in 2 sizes; Medium and Large
The Montra Chord which we test rode came in a Ruby Red and Black dual shade for the primary colour, text and graphics. The matte finish paint job was premium in quality with a smooth finish. The Deep Dish Alloy rims gives a unique style quotient to the overall look of this Hybrid Bicycle.
The Montra Chord comes in 2 colour variants; Ruby Red with Black and Grey graphics and Nickel Blue with Black and Grey Graphics
The Montra Chord is equipped with Shimano’s Tourney at the front and rear as derailleurs. They performed well during quick shifts with not much lag. The 21-Speed Shimano Tourney trigger shifters has a good response time and provided smooth shifting. For urban cycling in traffic these gears were ideal.
The Shimano Tourney 21-Speed derailleurs were sufficient for city riding
The Logan branded Mechanical Disc brakes on the Chord were powerful and ideal for all braking needs inside the city especially amidst traffic when riding fast. The brakes felt balanced and safe to use when interval braking and jamming them as well.
The XMR Steel handlebar with a 620mm width was ideal for this Sport Hybrid. This wide handlebar gives great steering control but lacked the raise which could made the riding posture a bit relaxed.
The Logan branded Mechanical Disc brakes was balanced and smooth on city roads
This Hybrid Bicycle rolls on a pair of Kenda 27.5” x 1.75” tires. The tire profile is meant for fast rolling resistance and to provide a decent amount of grip on tarmacs. The 650B XMR Alloy Deep Dish rims not only add to the aesthetic quotient of this Bicycle but they are also strong and contribute to the fast rolling resistance.
The XMR saddle was ergonomically designed and was padded well, which will keep the rider sore free on bumpy roads.

This is Hybrid Bicycle is lightweight and strong with a comfortable frame geometry. The matte finish paint job was top notch in quality with a smooth finish. The Logan branded Mechanical Disc brakes were powerful and balanced. The 27.5” Sport Hybrid tires with Deep Dish Alloy rims were aesthetic and rolls fast. Priced at Rs.25,430(as on 11th August 2022), the Montra Chord is an ideal choice for anyone looking to buy a Hybrid Bicycle for fitness and commutes on urban roads.
