Review: Carrera Intercity Folding Bike – superb value folder that's ideal for short rides and mixed-mode commuting cycling Halfords_uk
The Carrera Intercity is a quick-handling folder that's just the job for nipping to and from a train station and smuggling aboard the 08:23 express. It's a shade on the heavy side but it comes ready-to-roll with mudguards and a rack, and it's great value too – cheaper than any of the folders in ourThe Carrera Intercity is one of the best folding bikes you can buy when you take value for money into account.
The reach to the 56cm handlebar is short at just 66cm from the centre of the saddle. This gives the kind of upright position you want for urban riding, but it's a bit cramped for my taste. For short hops this isn't enough to be a deal-breaker, but it's another reason the Intercity isn't great for long rides, unless you're not very tall.
At 14.2kg, the Intercity is no featherweight. That's four kilograms more than a Brompton P Line Urban, but then the Brompton is almost six times the price, so it's reasonable to expect it to float away on the breeze.Like its stablemate the Carrera Intercity Disc, the Intercity folds at a big hinge in the middle of the main frame member.
The handlebar stem has a quick release so you can raise the bars if you want a really upright riding position. Halfords lists the gear shifters as Shimano Revoshift twist-grips but our bike actually had MicroShift trigger shifters and rear derailleur.
