- The screen is difficult to see with polarized glasses.<\/li>\n
- ana is a big and heavy bicycle<\/li>\n
- Some of the wires could be hidden more neatly<\/li>\n
- Traction on steep hills is not the strongest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
At least that's what I thought before the first ride. But the C29 Max quickly changed my mind. Hydraulic brakes, a torque sensor and several other improvements change the riding experience much more than one would expect from just looking at the technical characteristics. After a few weeks of use, I had the impression that this model is the most logical evolution of the entire C29 series.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nUnpacking<\/h2>\n
As is typical for Duotts bikes, the C29 Max arrives safely packaged and well protected for transport. All major components are neatly arranged, and unpacking did not cause any surprises or additional hassle.<\/p>\n
The package is complete, so you won't need to buy anything extra to start riding. The manufacturer has included everything you might need for everyday use \u2013 mudguards, a rack, a pump, a phone holder, and even a minimalist design bell, which I personally really liked.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nFirst impressions<\/h2>\n
The first thing I noticed when I took the C29 Max out of the box was its size. It\u2019s a pretty big bike, so I\u2019d recommend checking it out before you buy. Visually, this is probably my favorite model in the C29 series. The design looks more mature, and the additional elements are quite successfully integrated into the overall look.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Duotts-C29-Max-40.jpg\" "\\"Duots")
<\/p>\nAlthough the components used do not evoke premium-class associations, the overall level of assembly left a good impression. Nothing creaks, has no looseness, and does not emit extraneous sounds when driving. The rail system is already well known from other Duotts models and, at least, my experience with the E29 shows that it does not cause long-term problems. The only place where the manufacturer could still improve is the wiring - some of them could be hidden much more neatly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nComfort and ride quality<\/h2>\n
One of the first things I noticed while riding on city streets and rough roads was the thicker tires. Compared to the C29 Lite, they absorb smaller bumps better and provide more comfort on longer rides.<\/p>\n

![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Duotts-C29-Max-46-800x533.jpg\" "\\"Duots")
<\/p>\nDespite its weight, the C29 Max rolls very easily. The hydraulic disc brakes also left a very good impression \u2013 you can stop quickly and confidently even at higher speeds. On a flat road, you can pedal without electric assistance without any major problems, although on a steeper hill the extra weight starts to be felt. However, the overall riding sensation remains very pleasant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nTorque sensor<\/h2>\n
The biggest advantage of the C29 Max, in my opinion, is the torque sensor. It is what changes the overall riding experience the most compared to previous models in the C29 series.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Duotts-C29-Max-48.jpg\" "\\"Duots")
<\/p>\nThe principle of operation is simple \u2013 the more force I use when pedaling, the more assistance the motor provides. It all happens very naturally and smoothly. There is no feeling that the motor is fully engaged as soon as I turn the pedals, so the ride is like a regular bike, only with much stronger legs.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Duotts-C29-Max-29.jpg\" "\\"Duotts")
<\/p>\nDeveloped speed<\/h2>\n
The C29 Max can reach a speed of 45 km\/h using the electric motor alone. This 250W motor (960W maximum power) doesn't require much effort to do this, but the acceleration speed certainly doesn't break records. The traction is a bit of a weak point, although in reality it is sufficient practically everywhere.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Duotts-C29-Max-34.jpg\" "\\"Duots")
<\/p>\nAt first glance, it may seem that 7 gears will be too few for such a speed, but in reality they are quite sufficient. Without tiring yourself and pedaling at a high pace, you can easily maintain a speed of about 35 km\/h, and with a little more effort you can reach 40 km\/h. True, it is a bit more difficult to move off from a standstill on a hill in first gear without the help of the engine - the star cassette seems more adapted to speed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nDriving uphill<\/h2>\n
The tests that have already become a tradition, Narbuto g. and \u017delvos g. hills in Vilnius. The first one is overcome confidently, and at the steepest point the speed drops to about 25 km\/h. Even if you stop in the middle, there is enough power to start driving again. The second one, \u017delvos g. hill, became insurmountable \u2013 you stop very close to the top of the hill and here, it seems, the engine is already running out of traction.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Duotts-C29-Max-44.jpg\" "\\"Duots")
<\/p>\nBattery and range<\/h2>\n
In five rides on a single charge, the C29 Max managed to cover almost 50 km, with an average speed of around 25 km\/h. It is important to note that the maximum distance was not the goal during the tests \u2013 the priority was to ride as fast as possible and test the bike\u2019s capabilities in real-world conditions. Therefore, if you ride more calmly and pedal more actively, you can expect a significantly longer distance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nWhat did we like?<\/h2>\n
Considering the price of this bike, especially during better discounts, I can only praise the C29 Max. High maximum speed, very smooth and smooth assistant, hydraulic brakes. And what about the complete set? Luggage rack, mudguards - although the latter do not add beauty, they are certainly effective. In my opinion, this model becomes a real flagship of the C29 series.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Duotts-C29-Max-19.jpg\" "\\"Duotts")
<\/p>\nWhat we didn't like?<\/h2>\n
Perhaps the biggest downside is the screen. Already seen in the first version of the C29, it becomes practically invisible with polarized sunglasses. And that's basically all the disadvantages of this bike. Just keep in mind that this is a fairly heavy and large bike with 29-inch wheels, so it won't suit everyone.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Duotts-C29-Max-56.jpg\" "\\"Duots")
<\/p>\nVerdict<\/h2>\n
If I had to choose one bike in the C29 series today, I would choose the C29 Max. Duotts has improved on the most important areas where previous C29 models could have been better. The torque sensor and hydraulic brakes change the riding experience more than any additional speed or more powerful motor. And when you add a full set of equipment, good comfort and a pleasant ride, you get a bike that currently feels like the most mature model in the entire C29 series.<\/p>\n
