REVOLUTION courier s1ngle £279.99 When you go like a train, don’t be derailled. 8 Single speed / fixie 8 11.2kg/24.7lbs
‘This is a new incarnation of the decade-old Revolution Courier urban mountain Bike. The Courier S1ngle dispenses with the solitary derailleur: instead of eight gears you get one, either fixed or free. The flip-flop hub has a 16-tooth freewheel on one side and a 16-tooth fixed
cog, with lock ring, on the other. Unlike some budget bikes with flip-flop hubs, the chainline is fine with either cog. Since an unshipped chain can lock the rear wheel when you’re riding fixed, that’s a big deal. Verdict: Sensible, sturdy single speed fixie that’s great value. 8/10.’ Cycling Plus.

REVOLUTION courier nexus £399.99 Deraileur-free 8 speed. 8 Courier alloy frame for Nexus 8 Horizontal dropouts 8 12.6kg/27.8lbs
‘The hub gear means you can change from top to bottom at a standstill if you’re caught at the lights. The Nexus Inter 8 hub has a range of gears equal to a 12-38t cassette. The reach is traditional XC long. This opens up the cockpit for blacktop sprinting when you’re late for work. A flat
bar helps you lean into the wind, while slick 26 x 1.6” tyres give you all the suspension you need on tarmac. Summary: the Courier Nexus is a well put together urban mountain bike whose Inter-8 hub offers a stronger wheel, fit and forget gearing and stationary shifts.‘ WhatMountainBike.

REVOLUTION courier race £349.99 Bigger wheels bring better performance. 8 7005 alloy road frame for 700c wheels & Kevlar tyres 8 11.8kg/26lbs The Courier Race is even faster than our Courier Classic, thanks to its 700c wheels and tyres. That’s because, everything else being equal, larger diameter wheels roll faster. Especially when they are shod with 700 x 32 Kevlar Inside puncture-resistant
tyres, which are 9mm narrower (measured at ‘the belly’) than 26 x 1.6” treads. That’s a difference you’ll notice every time you accelerate. And while we’re talking of speed, the 8-speed lever is upgraded to Shimano Alivio Rapidfire for faster, crisper gear shifts.

REVOLUTION courier race disc £399.99 Goes like stink. Stops on a dime. 8 Tektro iO disc brakes 8 7005 alloy road frame for 700c wheels & Kevlar tyres 8 12.3kg/27lbs This is like the Courier Race, but here the Tektro V-brakes have been left on the bench to make way for an even tougher and more reliable substitute - Tektro iO mechanical disc brakes. These excellent pieces of kit feature Automatic Calliper
Centring and automatic pad angle adjustment. These features enable optimal adjustment so the hard-wearing ceramic pads can be set up parallel to and as close to the rotor as possible. Because these pads are much harder wearing than a rim brake’s rubber pads, they will probably last from one annual service to the next. Colour: Matt Thunder. Sizes: 18, 20, 22”. Web Ref: 10820
