The Pulse bike has been familiar to people for a relatively short time. The brand entered the market in 2015 and is headquartered in Italy. It is important to take into account the main subtleties of this manufacturer in order to correctly choose the right model.

Peculiarities

The Italian company Pulse tried to create the highest quality and sturdy design, to achieve the optimal external style. At the same time, both design and construction aspects are constantly being improved. The company strives to go ahead and conquer new niches in the market.

Manufacturing facilities are located in Taiwan. In this case, 100% of the parts are supplied from the factories of the Japanese corporation Shimano.

Brand policy implies the use of both steel and aluminum alloys. Their performance is carefully evaluated and verified. The company pays great attention to constant quality control. Due to its focus on a wide range of consumers, it was possible to ensure a fairly low cost. Products with steel frames are especially available.

The lineup

Pulse bicycles, including Pulse MD 400, show themselves very well. This model of mountain bike is equipped with wheels with a diameter of 26 inches. The wheels have alloy wheels. The MD 400 modification was introduced to the market in 2018, so it perfectly meets modern requirements. The designers took care of the convenience of the bike both in the city and when crossing difficult terrain.

The use of a steel frame is provided, which works reliably and does not create any discomfort. The proven Kenda tires have well-developed tread. The Japanese transmission is designed for 21 working speeds. Please note that Pulse bikes always have specific paint marks on the surface.This is not a mistake or a defect - this is just the peculiarity of the work of machines.

The frame of this model corresponds to the hardtail type. There are no moving parts in it, which simplifies the manipulation of the pedals and reduces the total weight of the product. Shimano Tourney equipment is perfect for beginner riding enthusiasts. The shock-absorbing fork has a travel of 0.1 m, and its design is optimal from the point of view of smoothing out shocks and vibrations. Mechanical disc brakes are selected for their robustness and stability even in extremely harsh conditions.

Children's alternative - Pulse MD 100. This bike has 20 "wheels. The product is designed for ages 6-10 years.

An important design feature is the equipment with rotary switches. The bike is equipped with fenders and a kickstand by default.

The frame of the 100th model is made of steel. There are 7 speeds, as well as a cartridge carriage. The front fork is well damped and has a travel of 0.04 m. Both hubs are made from aluminum. The tires are exactly 2.0 inches wide; both fenders and pedals are made of good plastic.

In a teenage group deserves attention Pulse MD 300. This bike is equipped with 24-inch wheels. Target age is from 9 to 14 years old inclusive. 21 speeds are structurally implemented. The color of the frame is selected individually. The main choice must be made between the severity of the classics and the calmness of a practical style.

The features are as follows:

  • plastic pedals;
  • shifters and shifters from Shimano;
  • rotor 0.16 m;
  • production launch year - 2017;
  • paired aluminum rims;
  • frame made of selected aluminum.

Pulse MD 500 Is another good model that is included in various ratings. The device is equipped with 26-inch wheels. The aluminum frame is available in various sizes. Standard sizes:

  • 1,45-1,6;
  • 1,56-1,7;
  • 1,7-1,83;
  • 1.8-1.95 m.

In any case, disc brakes are used and a 21-way speed is provided. The shock absorbing fork has a travel of up to 0.1 m. The manufacturer considers his product to be suitable for both urban and difficult terrain.

Completing the review is appropriate on the model's bike Pulse MD 460. It is a modern mountain bike with a trigger gear shifter and a steel frame.

Both brakes (front and rear) are mechanical disc type. The fork moves 0.06-0.09 m. 21 speeds are provided. The desired color must be specified when placing an order. The steering column is partially integrated and the tires are 2.1 inches wide.

How to choose?

After reviewing the whole Pulse range, you need to answer the question of how to choose the right bike for you. First you need to contact specialized sporting goods stores or branded retail chains. At the same time, it makes no difference whether the product is purchased "live" or via the Internet. Supermarkets and hypermarkets hardly buy high-quality goods, they focus only on what is cheaper at the moment. The next step when the circle of outlets is outlined is understand what exactly is needed.

Even Pulse products, as you can easily understand when looking at the assortment, are purely specialized. Mountain modifications with a single shock absorber (hardtails) differ significantly from double suspensions.

Of course, the stronger the cushioning, the easier it is to navigate a difficult road lane. However, this immediately increases the weight of the bike and therefore reduces its maneuverability.

At the other pole are children's models. But they also need to be chosen very thoughtfully and carefully. So, to master the skills of driving and simple driving around the city, a trunk is not needed. Later, when children and adolescents begin to travel on business, it is simply necessary. Besides, take into account your own stylistic wishes and color preferences. But it's less important by itself, rather than the growth group.

Frames for both kids 'and adults' bikes are often made of steel. This metal is stronger than aluminum, but immediately makes the structure heavier and does not provide sufficient maneuverability.The choice between them therefore depends on practical priorities.

Coming back to bike types, it's worth mentioning about road models. This is the perfect choice for those who just want to drive for purely practical purposes, without thinking about setting records and conquering off-road conditions. If you want to stand out a little and emphasize the merits of your purchase, you need to give preference to cruisers (choppers).

The road bike (sometimes called the track bike) is designed to ride on specific trails. It will have no shock absorbers, which helps to relax your arms and "squeeze out" the increased speed in the leveled area. It is road bikes that are deservedly liked by the inhabitants of large cities.

The next step in choosing is to estimate your own budget. Taking into account the other features, you can buy such a solid budget bike that it will bring more pleasure than other top-class models (and vice versa).

Next, find out how many speeds you need... For example, in a city, 20-27 is enough. Therefore, a simple hardtail is also suitable for such an application. In addition, it will allow you to safely ride outside the city limits. To complete the selection will help acquaintance with current reviews and a personal test drive.

Reviews

According to consumers, Pulse bikes deserve attention for:

  • affordable cost;
  • good appearance;
  • nice disc brakes.

The plastic pedals are somewhat wobbly - this is something that a wide variety of users pay attention to.

The quality of brakes is not only reflected in the fact that they react quickly. The impressive reliability and stability of this technique is noted.

And also pay attention that the rubber is quite durable and wear-resistant. Even with very active use, the bike practically does not wear out.
