Discover practicality and comfort in motion with the Polygon Urbano 2, a sleek urban folding bicycle designed for everyday Malaysian commuters. Built with an ALX alloy foldable frame, this bike combines lightness with structural resilience, making it durable yet easy to carry.
Specifications & Build Details
-
Frame & Folding Mechanism: Crafted from ALX alloy, the foldable frame features a safety lock and magnetic latch for secure storage and effortless folding.
-
Drivetrain: Powered by a Shimano Tourney 1×7-speed setup — it includes a Shimano MF-TZ500 freewheel (14–28T), RD-TZ31 rear derailleur, and KMC HV-500 chain. A protective double chain guard keeps gears clean and avoids snags.
-
Cockpit & Comfort: Equipped with an alloy flat handlebar and folding alloy stem, along with an alloy seatpost (Ø 34.9 mm × 580 mm) and MTB-style saddle, the Urbano 2 offers ergonomic comfort in compact form.
-
Wheels & Tires: Rolling on 20″ (406) alloy double-wall rims (32H) paired with Kenda K-154 tires (20″ × 1.75″ / 406 × 47), this setup balances stability with agile urban performance.
-
Braking System: Featuring mechanical disc brakes with 160 mm rotors and a 3-finger alloy brake lever, the Urbano 2 delivers dependable stopping power in varied road conditions.
-
Weight & Dimensions: While specific weight and compact folded dimensions aren’t listed, folding bikes of this class typically weigh around 12–15 kg, with folding reducing overall space by approximately half—ideal for storage and public transit.
Usage Instructions & Precautions
-
Initial Setup & Checks: Before cycling, fully unfold the bike and secure all locking clamps—ensure the frame lock snaps properly and handlebar/stem are firmly tightened. Check all bolts using proper torque to manufacturer recommendations.
-
Folding/Unfolding Tips: Practice folding and unfolding in a safe area. Confirm the frame latch and magnetic closure engage fully to prevent accidental unfolding while riding.
-
Seat Height Adjustment: Use the 580 mm seatpost to adjust saddle height so your feet can rest flat on the ground when seated—this enhances balance and confidence during stop-start city rides.
-
Tyre Inflation: Inflate the 20″ tyres to around 40–50 psi (2.8–3.4 bar) depending on load and surface—higher pressure offers faster road riding, while slightly lower improves grip on uneven pavements.
-
Brake Inspection: Regularly test brake lever feel and responsiveness. Ensure disc rotors are clean and brake pads are free from oil or grime for consistent stopping performance.
-
Daily Maintenance: Wipe the frame and components with a damp cloth after rides, especially in humid or rainy conditions. Lubricate the chain lightly to avoid rust, particularly on the KMC chain and drivetrain.
-
Storage Advice: When not in use, keep the bike folded in a dry environment. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to protect mechanical parts and the folding mechanism.
-
Safety Gear & Riding Tips: Always wear a certified cycling helmet, and consider gloves or reflective accessories for visibility. Be mindful of uneven pedestrian zones and ride defensively in traffic.
