Ninety One’s parent company Alpha Vector are driven by their goal of reconnecting you with the outdoors through a wide range of Bicycles that appeal to the lifestyle and fitness aspiration of India's youth. We got the opportunity to test ride Ninety One’s Manchester 27.5T MTB and here is what we thought.
Weight: 15.4 kgs
Usage: Leisure/Trails
The Ninety One Manchester 27.5T is a stylish looking hardtail MTB with performance focused components and is comfortable to ride on both urban roads and flat trails.
The Ninety One Manchester 27.5T is built around a Hardtail Alloy frame. The Alloy frame has a conventional frame geometry which was comfortable to ride. This frame was capable of taking in vibrations of the surface on rough trails and urban roads. This lightweight alloy frame made it easier to accelerate and to ride on inclines.
This Hardtail MTB comes with a Zoom front suspension fork with an impressive 80mm travel. This travel was smooth in working during the test ride and the mechanical suspension lock-out feature was helpful in making the fork rigid for a smoother riding experience on flat surfaces.
The Bicycle is built on a lightweight Hardtail Alloy frame and comes in a standard frame size
The Manchester 27.5T from Ninety One comes with Black as the primary colour and Red and Yellow as the secondary colour for the graphics and text. The matte finish paint job was top notch in quality. The Yellow brake and gear cables were a nice touch to make them colour coordinated. The Black/Red saddle with bold ‘91’ text is definitely eye catching. The red devil graphic on the top tube is commonly linked with the popular football team Manchester United. With similar colours, name and graphics as Manchester United FC this Bicycle’s design is sure to be popular amongst football fans.

The Ninety One Manchester 27.5T comes equipped with Shimano Tourney at the front and Shimano Acera at the rear as derailleurs. These are entry to mid-level gearing components in Shimano’s MTB hierarchy and they performed smoothly during the test ride. On rough urban roads and flat trails, these derailleurs were ideal for quick and short gear changes. The EZFire 21-Speed Shimano trigger shifters were easy to use and in easy reach from the handlebar grips.

This MTB’s stopping power is handled by a pair of JAK Mechanical Disc brakes at the front and rear. These brakes were powerful, safe and balanced on both rough and smooth roads. Both interval and jamming of brakes felt in control when used during the test ride.
The Alloy handlebar on this Bicycle was both comfortable and wide enough with a raise from the middle to give the rider an open chested riding posture.

The 27.5” x 2.20” DSI MTB tires on the Ninety One Manchester were heavily treaded and generate a lot of traction on rough surfaces. The 27.5” circumference made it easy to ride over rough trails and urban roads. The stock saddle was wide and had enough cushioning to keep the rider comfortable on bumpy rides.

This Hardtail MTB is built on a lightweight Alloy frame which was comfortable to ride. The front suspension fork has a smooth travel with a useful manual suspension lock-out which helps make the fork rigid to ride faster on flat surfaces. The Manchester United design connection with colours and graphics made it look aesthetic with a smooth matte finish. The 27.5” MTB tires were heavily treaded and fast rolling. Priced at Rs.23,199(as on 19th March 2021) the Ninety One Manchester 27.5T is an ideal choice for anyone looking to buy a hardtail MTB for riding on both urban roads and flat trails.
