Gazelle Orange C8

This is a pleasant bike. Nice and sturdy yet not too heavy. Suspension is comfortable, 8 gears is nice. Chaincase is closed and stretches automatically, therefore very low maintenance. What I am less pleased about is that Gazelle decided to mount another headlight on the fender. The old fendervision with on-off switch has been replaced by one that is always on. So no twilight sensor, no always on. Of course you don't notice it while pedaling, it is driven by the hub. But still it is strange that you cannot turn the headlight on or off. According to the manual you can, but there is just another headlight mounted. Inquiries at Mantel and Gazelle reveal that they decided to "anticipate legislation" requiring the lamp to be on all day. Well I have searched but can find nothing about an intention of such legislation. The rear light does have a switch. This should have been indicated on the website. But also Mantel did not know that Gazelle had used this headlight switch when I called about it. So next summer I will cycle in the burning sun with the headlight on because it cannot be switched off. I find that strange. Furthermore, you have to be very careful when using the speedbinders. It has happened to me a couple of times that the strap just hit the rear light and it falls right off. Fortunately, putting it back on isn't a problem, but in the dark you have to fiddle around a bit before you can do it. In short, nice bike, but lighting is substandard.

Pros & Cons

Great bike, cycles well, nice design for a great price.

Pros & Cons

I have had good experiences with this bike. It rides well and looks good. But, unfortunately, soon the front fender started rattling irritatingly. To get rid of the constant rattling, I tightened this screw. But alas, the front fender is attached to the integrated front light with a single screw clamping between two pieces of plastic. Success was short-lived. After an afternoon of cycling, the screw worked itself loose again and the rattling is back. I have now been able to reduce the rattle slightly with pieces of rubber, but that should not happen on a brand new bike. Very unfortunate.

Pros & Cons

Cycles very comfortably. Am very happy with it!

Pros & Cons

Super nice and beautiful bike! The bike feels solid and cycles very smoothly.

Pros & Cons

I have not been told anything too much, it is the perfect bike for me.

Pros & Cons

How disappointing this bike is! It's like you can't move forward. Everyone is overtaking you. And I don't mean those with e-bikes.

Pros & Cons

Nice light bike, due to the aluminum frame. Been riding it for a few weeks now, and like it well, no downsides. Bike was neatly delivered, and further assembled, super satisfied!

Very good bike

Great bike, because of good experience with this Gazelle bike I bought the same model again. Fast delivery and quick response from Mantel customer service to question about the order.
