Quella Evo: bike review

Power of three: the adaptable Quella Evo
Power of three: the adaptable Quella Evo

How many bikes do you need? There’s an old equation which states the ideal number is n + 1 where n is the number you currently own. Well, here’s a novel way to get three bikes for the price of one. British brand Quella has just launched the Evo which has been engineered to be incredibly versatile and durable. Starting with the basic frame you can use it as a no-nonsense, single-speed commuter. Or you can upgrade the gears and handlebars so it becomes an entry-level road bike. And if that doesn’t appeal, you can swap in chunkier rubber and use it as a rugged cross-rider for country trails and muddy lanes. Bottle holders, mudguards and racks can also be added, while a custom colour will cost you a further £100. It’s a great result for the chronically indecisive.

Price: £599
Frame: Columbus Cromor
Gears: single speed or SRAM Automatix for an extra £75
Weight: 10.5kg
