It is quick and agile for I bike in this $ range.
Braking is ok but not an issue in Fla… Going to buy a padded seat cushion as I don’t have riding pants… on the whole I’m happy with the bike.

Great bike for the price,nice quality and easy to put together nicely packed and actually it takes longer to unpack it than it takes to put together overall nice product for the price. I would recommend!

I ordered a blue bike. The box was marked “Blue” but inside the box was a black bike. It’s a good thing it wasn’t white or I would have probably returned it. I was going back and forth between black and blue before I made the purchase anyway so I decided to just keep the black. The wrong color was my reason for a four star rating.
The bike itself arrived in good shape and the medium size works for my 5’ 10” height with a 33” inseam. I have a little bit of clearance above the bar which is my preference. I wanted to be sure that I could fully extend my leg when pedaling which led to my choice for the medium frame.
I still need to tweak the shifting since it was not perfect out of the box but I’m sure I can find some YouTube videos for help there since I don’t have the expertise for that.
Overall it seems like a good bike, well built. I plan on using it for commuting to work during the warmer months here in New England.

The seat isn’t that comfortable but that I believe is person by person and how their bum fits on the seat. The rest of the bike is quality made and houses many accessories. Tires are grade A and provides a smooth ride. Definitely recommend.

I ordered this bike and a similar one for my wife (both AVASTA Uranus models). The following issues were encountered on assembly:
1. The manual for assembly covers a number of different models, which makes it very confusing and cumbersome.
2. The front wheels both were delivered with the wrong axle (too short); the correct size axles were included, but switching them were very difficult, expecially for the men’s one, which took two vise grips, a breaker bar, and very much effort to get the nut off.
3. Front and rear reflectors were included, but were not addressed in the manual and no compatible tubing could be found to install them.
4. The kick stand bolts do not fit into the bike side fitting, which are threaded a size too large.
Otherwise, the bikes look nice, and it is hoped that they will ride nice.

This review is only about the build quality of the components and the ease of assembly of the Avasta Uranus bicycle. I ordered the blue color bike in size M and paid for it entirely myself. I have received no request or compensation to provide this review. I have not put enough miles on it to do a review of the riding characteristics yet. Avasta doesn’t provide this information but the stand-over height of the assembled bike is 31 inches. I am 6 feet tall with a 34 inch inseam and I found the bike to be a little smaller than I would like but still comfortably rideable as a fitness bike.
What is included in the box:
The components are well-packed into the box with plenty of cushioning to prevent dents and scratches on the paint. Besides the bike frame and wheels, the box contained the front and rear fenders, rear rack, pedals, kickstand, front and rear reflectors, paper manual and tools for assembly.
Build quality:
I am impressed with the build quality considering the price of the bike. The welds are very good, the frame is straight, the assembly points for bolts and screws all lined up easily, the brake rotors are thick and true, the shifters and derailleurs are name-brand components and the blue paint is a beautiful, glossy metallic flake with no visible defects.
Assembly:
I have experience fixing cars, motorcycles and bicycles and doing repairs around my house for the last 30 years. So, trust me when I say that the assembly manual which is included with the bike is completely inadequate for someone who has never put together a bike before. It covers the generic, basic assembly steps for several models of Avasta bikes (and the reader is expected to understand whether or not an instruction is applicable to the bike they have). The manual does have a QR code which is supposed to take you to an assembly instructional video, but it just goes to the main page of the Avasta bikes website and none of the instructional videos I found on that website were for the Uranus or even similar models. And half of the instructional steps end with telling you to take it to a professional bike shop to have them check/adjust/complete the assembly for you. Boo!
The frame came with the derailleurs, cables, front fork, chain and rear wheel already assembled. The brakes and shifters were pre-attached to the handlebar and the seat was mounted to the seat post. I had to:
1) mount the front brake caliper to the front fork
2) attach the handlebar to the stem and tighten it down (the most difficult step without proper instructions)
3) put the quick release spindle in the front wheel and attach it to the front fork
4) attach the front and rear fenders
5) insert the seat post into the frame and tighten
6) assemble and mount the rear rack
7) mount the kick-stand (no mention at all of the kickstand in the instructions)
Using my prior know-how with cars and bikes, I was able to figure out and complete the assembly by myself in about an hour and a half. The screw holes in the frame where brakes, fenders and other components mount were well-positioned but just a bit oversize (i.e. the bolts were a little loose or wobbly in the holes). I used some medium-strength threadlocker (not included but I highly recommend) on all of the screws and bolts and this fixed the looseness and will prevent the screws from coming out on their own over time). I was surprised that the brakes and derailleurs were already almost perfectly adjusted right out of the box. I only had to do a minimal adjustment of the cable tension on the rear derailleur to get it perfect.
Overall:
For the price of this bike, the features it has (name-brand components, disc brakes, fenders, etc.) and the build quality are impressive. The assembly instructions, however are completely inadequate and assembly will be challenging for someone without prior experience doing this.

Bike front axel too short wheel doesn’t fit, front disk break broken, end cap of handlebar broken. Reached out to manufacture support several times with no response. I’m returning the bicycle.
