Avanti Giro FM 1W 2025

The Microshift 1x8 drivetrain shifts noticeably smoother than I expected for this price point. I’ve put about 50 km on it so far and the crisp gear changes make city riding much more enjoyable. Only wish the stock tyres had a bit more grip on wet roads.

The alloy frame feels solid without being too heavy, which makes city riding comfortable. It shifts cleanly once you get the hang of the eight-speed, and the price is fair for what you get.

The Microshift Acolyte shifting is noticeably crisp and intuitive, which makes zipping around town fun. The alloy frame feels solid but not overly heavy. Only wish the gear range was slightly wider for the steeper hills I encounter.
