STELS Navigator 800

Advantages: - metal pedals;
- the wings are full-sized, aluminum so you need to carefully handle can bend;
- the trunk;
- call, gave to his son;
- form of grip;
- the frame, the form is very like;
- footboard, also very brutal;
- color (I have black and red, although I wanted black and zeny)

Disadvantages: - fixing grip periodically weakens;
- saddle is too narrow for me;
- speed problems have already started (should be cured under warranty)

Comment: He took the bike apparently one of the last in the 20th frame, and there is still no new batch. I use it in the city and, due to the weather, I don’t have about 100 km at all, but even for such a mileage you can already judge it.

Advantages: He took the bike in Belarus in 2009, it cost me about 9 thousand rubles. He took the same wife toko frame 18 took himself 20. We drove through the woods and along primers and along sand, through mud and puddles. Drove on the trunk of a 13 year old tribe (endured). drove about 3000 km maybe more. Replaced only the chain after 1500 km stock for a better difference immediately felt. Everything else has not changed, never served, only the chain lubricates. Everything.
Advantages:
- reliable pedals - metal and not plastic as on the same GT that break;
- full-size wings (you can drive through puddles), although aluminum ones are very light;
- The trunk (quite bearable) many times rescued;
- Steering wheel adjustable tilt;
- the call is already included;
- the grips are soft and do not scroll (really like) on the same GT avalanche just wooden;
- a frame of a convenient design in a form is pleasant;
- double piston rims;
- I like the poluslik tire rolling very good (not only I like it), but I really did not find it on sale;
- step (helps)
- altus - normal switch - until I let it down once;
- monoblock knobs - I like to work clearly, not annoying
- the saddle is comfortable, not wooden and not thin
- Vibreik brakes of course, but there are also easy maintenance.

Disadvantages: - the call when from a rain becomes wet becomes ineffective;
- brakes when it is raining creak may slightly decrease the efficiency and well, they are not all the same discs - the tinder rim ...
- the step does not save if the trunk is loaded;

Comment: I wanted one time to rearrange the bushings and brakes, and then I thought, why?! all funtsikliruet .. as they say do not go into the working mechanism)))

If you are looking for a drive for pokatushek and no matter where, then this one led for you.
Of course, for honest bike rides, I would recommend changing the wheel bushings to put on industrial bearings, the system for 8 stars, and altus can be changed to alivio, and well, the trunk can still be more powerful ... everything else is normal. the frames on the same factories are soldered!

Advantages: Model bought in 2006. Since then, it has not undergone significant changes. It speaks about the successful development of engineers. It has a constant and steady high demand. Incredibly reliable, polished rubber-poluslik kenda. Departure 17500 km! on the front wheel. Rear 12000.- burst cord on the shot. In the free sale of such rubber will not find. It's a pity. The design of the frame, connecting rods, wheels, is very durable. He was hit by a car, everything was intact, unlike a car bumper, - he cracked the bicycle pedal! Good front fork. Withstood a bump in the bump at a speed of 30 km / h. After 20,000 mileage replaced due to wear and play. Wheel bearings are replaced once - forgot to dry after a ford in the fall. The carriage knot did not change at all. But, after 9 years, a slight backlash appeared. The high strength of landing rods, steering wheel, steering wheel itself - there is no creaking and backlash for all 9 years of active use.

Disadvantages: Rear wheel replaced after 10,000 km. The spokes are weakened (not pistoned), a figure eight has appeared. Burst rear aluminum fender.

Comment: Incredibly successful model. Replaced only consumables. Recommendations are superfluous - I don’t see any models on the open market

Advantages: Good aluminum trunk included. Interestingly, it has two directional pins for fastening the pump (old-fashioned, with a hose that is).
Adjustable takeaway.
Footboard and bell - included.
Transmission, although not expensive, but works well.
The rim, oddly enough, is permed.

Disadvantages: Rubber (poluslik) oak and has a noticeable unpleasant smell. It is better to immediately change to a tourist one (Schwalbe Marathon, for example).
Heavy steel pedals.
Steel, not plastic wings.
Grips should be comfortable (with stops for wrists), but the collar, which should keep them from rotating, is plastic and does not want to tighten at all.

Comment: In general - a good bike for your money.
Be sure to change tires.
Before installing the grips, drop a sealant, this will avoid their rotation under operating conditions.
If we want to make it easier, we change the wings to plastic, the pedals to aluminum.
