A fantastic bike that offers some performance without paying through the nose for it. Finding a road bike that has a carbon fiber frame for a fair price is tough these days. Especially since the summer rush on bikes. We saw many retailers sell out and those few that remained in stock saw prices rise in accordance with demand.
The SAVA Warwind 5.0 was no different. Joy however, that this carbon bike is now back in stock and ready for your cycling pleasure.
The high quality carbon fiber frame uses Japanese materials. The frame looks fantastic. It has a futuristic look to it, with the curves in certain areas giving a space age feel to the bike. A lightweight frame is a must for most riders. Less weight means you’ll have less drag when powering up hills. When you pair the carbon frame with the fork and seat post which are also both carbon fiber. You end up with a nice light setup.
The handlebars on the Warwind 5.0 are made of aluminium. Having Shimano 105 22-Speed derailleur shifters mounted at a very ergonomically pleasing position helps for a comfortable ride.
The standard saddle that comes with the Warwind 5.0 is also made for speed. It’s ultra thin design allows the rider to sit quite comfortably and comes with the usual adjustable features. Helping you find the perfect setup for your personal preferences. The saddle has been designed for long distance travel which helps if you’re planning on using this bike for commuting or long weekend rides.
The braking system installed might not be the ‘disc brakes’ that some more expensive models provide. However the brakes are responsive and aren’t an area to be worried about on the Warwind 5.0. Just keep an eye on the pads, make sure you’re not running them too low. Correctly configured and aligned V brakes are perfectly acceptable as long as they are maintained.
Overall, we think this bike is fantastic. Another success from the SAVA team.
