Electra Townie Balloon 9D bike review
Electra produced the Townie Balloon 9D bike in 2009 and can be classified as a Cruiser bicycle.Electra Cruiser Townie Balloon 9D can be found in one single color which is Ebony.
This bike is equiped with 26 x 2.35" Schwalbe Fat Frank tires and Stainless spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Alloy, 36-hole. Electra equiped this exact model with Shimano Nexus Roller Brake brakes, Shimano Nexus levers braking system and Front: Shimano Nexus BR-IM40, Rear: Shimano Nexus BR-IM70 hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Electra used 6061-T6 aluminum material for the frame. Alloy custom bend riser high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Townie Balloon 9D to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Forged Alloy.
For the smoothest biking experience Shimano Alfine with chainguard, 39 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to Shimano HG53-9 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Electra, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano SL-R440/R441 gear shift levers.
