Stark Funriser 29.4 D 2018

The Stark bicycle brand, headquartered in the Moscow region, manufactures products at factories in Taiwan. Ambitious niner Funriser 29.4 D 2018 feels like a fish in water both on asphalt and on rough terrain — you will have to look for roads that are insurmountable for a bike.

Pedaling Efficiency

The frame of the bike is made of hydroformed aluminium tubes, which gives the whole structure of the model lightness and rigidity. The Stark Funriser 29.4 D 2018’s fast acceleration and good rollover on paved surfaces are ensured by large 29-inch wheels in combination with a hydraulic lockout of the front spring-elastomer fork. Forced disabling of the damping system will play into the hands when building a route on public roads — this allows you to increase efficiency in those conditions where vibration mitigation is less important than high pedaling efficiency.

Decent body kit

The Shimano-based 24-speed drivetrain uses Altus series front derailleurs and upscale rear derailleurs (Acera). The trigger shifters are traditionally placed on the straight handlebars of a bicycle. There, they peacefully coexist with the handles for impact on the mechanical disc brakes Zoom DB-280. With such equipment, the models are not afraid of either steep climbs, during which you can finely dose the pedaling force, or long descents, where high-performance brakes manifest themselves in all their glory.

Coupling properties

A double aluminium rim is placed on guard to reinforce the wheels, making them resistant to heavy loads that inevitably accompany the rider when riding on primers. Complementing the picture are WTB Nano tyres with directional tread, which have excellent traction. As a result, the model becomes a good choice for adherents of an active driving style with a frequent alternation of asphalt roads and trails laid across rough terrain.
