Triple chainrings are less common today with most road bikes just having a double chainring, however, the triple on this XC550 enables greater flexibility for less experienced cyclists. The 28T is the one you’ll find yourself using on steep hills and the smaller sprockets are used for flat roads or downhills, depending on your strength and fitness levels. The 24|34|42T ratio compares to 30|39|50T on the triple Shimano Claris crankset which means you’ll find it easier going uphill due to the smaller number of teeth on each of the chainrings but may run out of gears on the big downhill runs, maybe. My son has been caught out twice in very heavy rain while riding and I’m a little concerned that electric motors may start corroding but so far no problems.

We will not be a party to or in any way be responsible for monitoring any transaction between you and third-party providers of products or services. Eurobike have confirmed that the XC550 bike can accommodate 32mm width tyres should you wish to change from the ones supplied.

It’s always difficult to recommend the correct bike frame size for people but generally speaking, the 49cm frame is considered a small frame and would suit adults and children who are around 5′ 0″ to 5′ 6″ (150cm to 165cm), whereas the 54cm frame is a medium size suitable for people around 5′ 6″ to 6′ 0″ (165cm to 180cm). The style continues with the rims (cycling speak for wheels), which are available as lightweight multi-spoke rims or more modern looking 3-spoke design.

There are several types of tires available including the tire, and rim to be suitable for all-terrain vehicles. Secondly, the bike is fitted with Shimano parts, which are commonly recognised as the best bike component manufacturer. The combination of the 7 sprockets on the rear cassette and the 3 chainrings on the crankset is what results in the XC550 having 21 gears (7×3), which is plenty for any cyclist.

We live in Spring Hill so needed something to carry my tall, solidly built son up the hill from Brisbane CBD in comfort with minimal fuss. Overall, the Eurobike Road Bike XC550 is a really good bike, quality components and superb value for money. If the issue is deemed by us upon investigation to be a manufacturing fault, we will repair, refund or replace the faulty goods.

Adding to its reputation for value for money, the XC550 comes supplied with disc brakes at the front and rear of the bike, helping to slow the bike even in wet weather.
