Kent GZR700 Road Bike Review
The Kent Gzr700 road bike is an impressive looking cycling bike sturdily built for serious riders. The GZR700 is made with precision and welded using a tungsten-electrode inert gas welding style (tig welding) which sees the bike arc constructed of a high tensile steel frame and a fork maintained by a tungsten electrode. The Kent GZR700 road bike uses Shimano stem shifters as well as a rear derailleur to ensure very smooth and reliable shifting when changing between the 21 speeds.
The GZR700 road bike isn’t your average bike in that it differs from several other road bikes and mountain bikes. This bike requires getting used to, if you want a superb biking experience, else you may have issues with your posture which can lead to back pain. Consistency is key however, as you should get used to it after a while of riding and trying out the best sitting posture for you.
The shifting levers which control the speed range up to 21 ranges are attached to the center stem of the road bike’s handle bars. This puts them at least 3 or 4 inches away from the hands when on top of the handle bars and about 8 inches away when they are in the lower position. This position of the shifting levers is a bit tricky and can be inconveniencing for some users and requires getting used to, as you would need to remove one of your hands placed at the handle bar to change the speed range.
The Kent GZR700 road bike takes into consideration your decision to abruptly stop on any occasion and comes with alloy calipers and brake levers. The Kent GZR700 features high-profile alloy Vitesse 36” rims which not only give the bike that premium look, but also deliver top-notch cycling experience. There’s also comfortable seats on the bike which lets you ride seating without discomfort. The Kent GZR700 Road bike delivers a high capacity carriage but has a weight limit of 250 pounds which is pretty considerate.

Cons
- So far, there haven’t been any negative reviews for the Kent GZR700 Road Bike, which speaks a lot about its quality and durability.
