Maverick bicycles: models and selection guidelines

Riding a bike is a great way to get in shape while enjoying the ride. With this transport you can travel outside the city, ride on highways or rough terrain. Also, this method of transportation is good because the bike does not need such care as a car. Today we look at the Maverick brand and its range.

Maverick entered the Russian bicycle market in 2013. The initial products were only mountain bikes and mountain bikes for children. Over time, the range of the brand has expanded. In 2015, in addition to mountain bikes, urban bikes begin to be produced. This attracts buyers' attention to Maverick products, after which the company begins to actively develop.

In 2016, production changes took place that were marked by the introduction of new technologies. This approach had a positive effect on the quality of bicycles, making them better in many ways. Technology has also been welcomed by customers. In addition to new parts, the manufacturer began to look for ways to reduce prices so that the product was more affordable.

Since 2017, Maverick began to actively distribute its offices and affiliates. They create the possibility of feedback between the manufacturer and the consumer. The company Maverick became known not only in Russia, but also abroad. A good assortment and a large consumer base help the brand develop and make products even better. The producing country is Russia, therefore this company can be called domestic.

Maverick bikes are distinguished by their modernity, which makes them reliable and efficient. Among the technologies of this manufacturer, the following can be noted.

• Technoforming and hydroforming. They allow to produce aluminum pipes of any shape. This approach was created in order to make designs for children and women. At the same time, the pipes do not lose in strength and efficiency, which makes the appearance of the bikes special, and the design reliable.
• Alloy 6061. This aluminum alloy is the basis for Maverick product designs. The technology is good in that the total weight of such a bike is much less than with a steel frame. You can also highlight the anti-corrosion properties. Rust acts several times slower on such a frame than on any steel.
• Robotic pipe welding. The creation of seams on the most important sections of the bicycle is handled by a special robot. Thus, the pipe seam is reliable and has no marriage. This technology also makes the seams as invisible as possible so that your bike remains as aesthetically pleasing as possible.
• Semi-integrated steering column. Cups and bearings are located inside the steering tube, which increases their service life and prevents possible damage. Also improves handling, aerodynamics and changes the center of gravity.
• Geometry frames for children, women and teenagers. The structure of the human body changes with age, therefore, aggregates for children and adolescents should differ from adult counterparts. Thus, the design fits the proportions of a person of a certain age. In children’s cycling, the frame is understated in order to reduce the likelihood of injury to the child in the event of a fall.

Women have different proportions with men, therefore the structure of women's bikes is different from the standard ones that are designed for men. Of the differences, the location of the upper frame, which is understated, can be noted. This feature makes landing easier.

All products of the manufacturer Maverick are divided into 4 types:

• mountain double suspensions;
• mountain hardtail;
• road;
• children's and teenage.

Consider a few representatives from each type.
