Electra Townie Balloon 8D bike review
Electra produced the Townie Balloon 8D bike in 2011 and can be classified as a Commuter bicycle.
Electra Commuter Townie Balloon 8D can be found in a few colors, among these colors Navy and matte black .
This bike is equiped with 26 x 2.35 Schwalbe Fat Frank tires and Stainless spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Painted Alloy, 36-hole. Electra equiped this exact model with Linear Pull brakes, Alloy levers braking system and Front: Alloy, Rear: Shimano Acera hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Electra used 6061 Alloy material for the frame. Alloy custom bend riser high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Townie Balloon 8D to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Polished Alloy.
For the smoothest biking experience Forged Alloy is used on this bicycle linked to KMC Z72 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Electra, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano Rapidfire gear shift levers.
