Raleigh folding

This combined with flex in the forks and the very long stem made the bike feel quite unstable when braking. When applying the front brake hard the fork would shudder. The Evo 2 has a telescopic stem that allows the handlebar height to be adjusted. This is a very nice feature. It is possible to achieve an upright relaxed position or a lower more sporty position.

The frame is, however, quite short meaning that it is not possible to achieve a very sporty position. The large cushioned saddle is well suited to an upright position.

It was very comfortable when used sitting up. The choice of 7 speed Shimano derailleur gears and alloy V-brakes is good for a bike of this type. The gear range is enough to get up hills and cruise at a decent speed. The brakes are powerful enough to stop in the wet although they lack a modulation of other options. Everything is easy to maintain and uses standard parts that are easy to get hold of. They are also a nice compromise between being small enough for a compact fold while large enough to give low rolling resistance and cope with obstacles such as potholes.

A basic chainring guard is fitted but it would have been nice to see a full chain guard. The full mudguards on both wheels are very effective and a nice feature.

It simply means that a spanner will have to be carried as part of a puncture repair kit. It is good to see that a luggage rack is included. This is a decent size and felt sturdy. As you would expect there is no child seat but it should be easy enough to attach one to the luggage rack.

The Raleigh Evo 2 is a very affordable folding bike. It has everything you need to get around over short to medium length trips. The 7 speed Shimano derailleur gears give enough range to climb hills and cover ground reasonably quickly.

The alloy V-brakes give safe and reliable stopping power in wet weather. The ride is very good for a bike in this price range but there is quite a lot of flex in the forks and the long stem. If you need a basic folding bike on a budget then this is a great choice. Very good review of bike had mine three years now Be careful how much you loadon the luggage rack as this can cause damage to spokes on back wheel as I found out recently.
