Maverick bicycles: models and recommendations for choosing

Cycling is a great way to get in shape and still enjoy the ride. With this type of transport, you can travel outside the city, ride on highways or rough terrain. Also, this method of movement is good because the bike does not need as much care as a car. Today we take a look at the Maverick brand and its range.

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

In 2016, production changes take place, which were marked by the introduction of new technologies. This approach has had a positive impact on the quality of bicycles, making them better in many ways. Manufacturability was also received positively by buyers. In addition to new parts, the manufacturer began to look for ways to reduce the price to make the product more affordable.

Since 2017, Maverick has begun to actively distribute its dealerships and affiliates. They create an opportunity for feedback between the producer and the consumer. The Maverick company has become known not only in Russia, but also abroad. A good assortment and a large consumer base help the brand develop and make its products even better. The country of origin is Russia, therefore this company can be called domestic.

Maverick bicycles are characterized 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 the production of 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 their strength and efficiency, which makes the appearance of the bicycles special and the structure reliable.
• Alloy 6061. This aluminum alloy forms the basis for the designs of Maverick products. 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 anti-corrosion properties. On such a frame, rust acts several times slower than on any steel.
• Robotic pipe welding... The seams on the most important parts of the bike are created by a special robot. Thus, the pipe seam is reliable and free from defects. This technology also makes the seams as invisible as possible so that your bike remains as aesthetically pleasing as possible.
• Semi-integrated steering column... The cups and bearings are located inside the head tube, which increases their life and prevents possible breakage. It also improves handling, aerodynamics and changes the center of gravity.
• Frame geometry for childrens, womens and teenagers' bicycles. The structure of the human body changes with age, so the units for children and adolescents should be different from their adult counterparts. Thus, the design is suitable for the proportions of a person of a certain age. Children cycling vehicles have a lower frame in order to reduce the likelihood of injury to the child in the event of a fall.

Women have different proportions to men, so the structure of women's bicycles differs from the standard ones, which are created for the male. Of the differences, we can note the location of the upper frame, which is understated. This feature makes it easier to fit.

All Maverick products are divided into 4 types:

• mountain double suspension;
• mountain hardtails;
• road;
• for children and teenagers.

Let's consider several representatives from each type.

This type of bikes is distinguished by its cross-country ability, so you only need to ride them on rough terrain. Good grip, good build quality, comfortable construction and much more make mountain bikes strong and stable even for extreme environments.

• Maverick S12. An inexpensive and fairly basic bike. Mainly made of steel, which negatively affects the weight, but positively the price. The fork, like the frame, is made of steel. NECO carriage semi-cartridge, V-type brakes, plastic mudguards, one double-walled rim, 26-inch tires of our own production, steel steering system. This bike is available in dark gray with blue stripes.

• Maverick S15 Disk. This bike is similar to the S12, but there are some differences. This is a cushioning system that is not attached to the top, but to the middle tube. Thus, the load is distributed more evenly, and not only on the front wheel. The steering wheel is more compact, the brake system is disc-shaped, so the cables are located on both sides. Shifters and derailleurs from Shimano. Cranks size 24x34x42, blue-gray color.

• Maverick S36. A fairly common and popular bike suitable for beginners. This unit has only a rear derailleur, which will ease the stress on the saddle and pedals. The base of the structure is steel, as is the steering system. DP-19A double wall rim, Shunfeng hubs, DNP cassette, V-brakes, Neco bottom bracket and B906 semi-cartridge. The wheels are 26-inch, the fenders are plastic, the color is yellow-blue.

• Maverick Diver 3.0. Sturdy and reliable. The construction is made of 6061 aluminum alloy. The fork is also aluminum. Disc brakes, cartridge carriage, JoyTech bushings, DH24disk double-walled rim, Kenda tires 27.5 inches. Rear derailleur, cassette, Shimano shifters. The stem and the steering wheel itself are aluminum, the pedals are plastic. This bicycle, due to the large number of parts made of alloy 6061, is quite lightweight, but at the same time it does not lose its positive properties. The presence of two sizes allows you to choose a bike for your build. There are only two colors: black and gray.

• Maverick Atica 3.0... A balanced and inexpensive mountain bike. Aluminum alloy construction, fork and stem. Prowheel cranks, Shunfeng bushings, Neco bottom bracket, Chaoyang 27.5-inch tires, VP plastic pedals, Shimano, Altus or RD-M310 rear derailleur. Disc handbrake, 21 speeds, KMC chain.

They are no different from adults, only in their dimensions. Among the best units are the Rush, Vector and K, L and D models.

They do not have a special structure and are intended only for urban conditions. There are fewer parts, making maintenance easier and less likely to break. City bicycles differ in the complete set, that is, they have a trunk and a footrest. The saddle and handlebars are wider than mountain counterparts. This is done in order to have more control over driving in urban environments, where, in addition to the cyclist, there are motorists and pedestrians on the road.

• Maverick luna... The bike is made of aluminum alloy. Steel forks, connecting rods and steering system. Wanda tires are 28-inch. Shunfeng hubs, MicroShift shifters, DNP ratchet. Handbrake V-brake, 7 speeds in total. The color is mint or white.

Most owners think Maverick bikes are reliable and great for beginners. Some of the buyers learned to ride bikes from this manufacturer. The consumer likes the combination of manufacturability, simplicity and reasonable price. Of the minuses, pedals are distinguished, which can withstand only a few months, so in the future it is better to purchase and install others.
