What do you think of the Carrera Vengeance in Orange? I absolutely love it in this colour. And shortly after (or while) uploading this video, it seems like Halfords have discontinued this model?! So if you want the orange version, there might still be a few left in specific branches, may be.
i have the carrera vengeance XL, ride on light trails and do occasional wheelies and the forks have broken as they are of low quality, but overall awesome bike
@@AnIndianAbroad ye best not to do them, just taken it to halfords to see how much they want to fix it, £250 as they say that my back gears cog is highly damaged and other parts are broken only bought the bike in september 2019, i treat this bike with the upmost respect don't get how that can be damaged, waiting till i can get my hands on the 2020 carrera hellcat but out of stock almost everywhere. :)
@Cian Mellerick you're not meant to use WD 40 on bike chains. "As a solvent, WD-40 will strip away any existing lubricant, leaving your chain, and drivetrain dryer than before application. This means that using WD-40 as a chain lubricant is worse than using no lube at all. ... REI does not recommend using WD-40 on your bike"
I have this same bike, I can totally agree with both reviews, this guy makes a lot of sense and gets straight to the point. Good job mate and Thankyou 👍🏻👍🏻
Well done review on the bike! Been looking around for a new reasonably priced bike and yeah the 2020 version of this in Halfords will probably be the one to go for (assuming they get more stock next month!)
Christopher Cunningham Glad you found it useful. The NEW 2020 version seems to have slightly different specs (shocks & gears) so I can only hope it matches or betters the quality of parts used on this one. I can highly recommend this bike for the price bracket 🙌🏻 Good luck buying yours!
dont buy the new 2020 carrera horrible quality compared to the last gen (i own that one) one problem with carrera is that the parts like to break like my front forks have broken still ride able but lots of vibrations and i do light trail rides and occasional wheelies, personally buy i would buy a different brand
I enjoyed this review, thank you. I have owned a Carrera Vengeance for five years and it has become a close reliable friend. I ride on road and trail and has never let me down. The bike is cleaned and lubricated when necessary. I recently replaced the rear tyre.
Wow you've never changed the wheels that's good, when I was a kid I had a bike and I used to change tyres every 3 months but that was back in 2011. Great video, I might buy that bike
Thank you! I was debating to get the new carrera vengance matt black from halfords and seeing your review helped me i now know the carrera brand is good and hope my new bike is great i ordersdit today and will be getring it soon! thank you very much!
I've watched both your reviews on this bike and I've got to say that they are both high quality. Great images, all the relevant information covered and an easy flowing style of speaking. You are good at doing these reviews and are even better than the company you purchased the bike from at giving the customer enough detail to make an informed decision. You really should look into setting up some kind of affiliate link with Halfords so you can earn yourself a small commission from your hard work. The reason is that I have no doubt that many of these bikes will be purchased off the back of your review. Thanks for doing the reviews and stay safe.
THANK YOU so much for writing such a detailed and motivating comment Kenneth. You sir are very kind and I am glad someone appreciates the effort involved in making these videos. After your comment, I have decided to get in touch with Halfords and see if something on those lines might be achievable. But irrespective of that, thank you so much for taking the time to send me this feedback. It really does mean a lot. Take care of yourself & stay safe my friend 🙏🏻
@@AnIndianAbroad You deserve the praise. Reviews like yours help people like me to make good decisions and possibly save money or spend it wisely.

Great review Amed (I’ve probably spelt that completely wrong, please advise on the spelling) I totally agree with you on the colour, the orange is superb. I use Muc Off lubricants, but there are quite a few good brands out there. I have two Carreras at the moment, a Fury mountain bike and a Subway 1 hybrid. I’ve done video reviews for both of them on here if ever you should need to research them. Best wishes, Chris.
Great video mate! Im going to try and hopefully get the 2020 green version as soon as it gets in stock, refreshing halfords page every hour or so incase it gets out of stock before everyone else buys them haha
I went for the green , all set up and already been on 2 rides impressive bike for the price I've had a few higher priced and not an awful lot of difference
Hi bud I wanted to thank you for your video I bought my CV off your first video 3 months ago. Its a fantastic bike I added the stand and bottle holder again on your advice. I've also added mud guards which were fitted by Halfords and I fitted lights purchased on Amazon. Cheers for your help Keep Pedalling 👍
Thank you for the kind words Kevin. Its comments like these that motivate me to continue making more videos. For me, the stand & a bottle holder (with a bottle) is a must have on any bike. And I did think about adding mud guards, but I only use this bike for leisurely rides and majorly in the dry, so haven't bothered with those. Ride safe my friend and thank you again for taking the time to comment on here :)
@@AnIndianAbroad I don't know, I'm taking it out for the first time later today. It looks great though. The weather has been so bad it's been sat in my shed until now.
@@AnIndianAbroad Just got in from my first ride out, I loved it apart from the saddle, will take your advice and stick with it for this week and see how it goes. Thanks.
Great review, I would just recommend a hybrid bike for your next purchase once this one has worn out, just purely because you don’t use the bike on trails and plus hybrid bikes are lighter and faster. An in between road bike and a mountain bike. But then again it’s your choice :)
@@BigJuicer24 Because the brakes are soo easy to use, even if u put slight pressure its like the bike stops immediately. And u can imagine the state if he trys to drift ive personally tried its hard what happens is u loose speed way faster and because we r going at a high pace anyway we would press brakes and it would lift the bike up or something bad its dangerous if u ask me
To @An Indian abroad , top video very informative. I mat buy one of these bikes and im looking to see weather its worth mechanical or hydraulic brakes and I will be using it for similar purposes as you , so chances are I will grab the mechanical ones. review was brilliant thank you .
Just ordered this bike in black, arrives Wednesday.. Looking forward to giving it a rest run. I tend to cycle more trail than road but hopefully the bike is relatively decent on road as well. 👌🏻 I will be going for that kick stand and I will be ceramic coating mine for extra protection.
@@warcriminal84 hi David, I personally really like it for what I sue it for which is a 13mile burst round a wooded area with some stoney areas.. By stoney I mean stones that are half the size of your hand. 😂 I had a loan of a vengeance limited edition with the huge tyres.. I found it too heavy, this seems just right.. I do find that I have run out of gears if I'm really going down his fast, could be doing with that extra few up to 24, but that's just me. Overall I do like it and it's great to take my son on his bike on my treks as well. Hope that helps.
@@V4DUR thanks very much Lee, appreciate your honest feedback. Halfords have it for £360 right now minus a £25 discount so I think I’ll go for it Planning on converting to an evoke within Bafang mid hub upgrade so quite a few parts will be changed over including the gearing. Thanks
Good review. Great value for money bikes. I use muc off dry lube on my summer bike. I use to use wet lube on my winter bike (doesn’t wash off in the rain-stickier) but it attracts dirt. Don’t get oil on your discs!!! Cover them with cloth or bags when cleaning the bike. Prior to oiling I would use a toothbrush and a good degreaser like muc off bio friendly degreaser. Agitate it on each link on the chain then thoroughly wash it out with water. Rub it dry with an old sock or cloth. When dry use a blob of oil on each link pin on the bottom of the chain. Leave it for a bit then rub the excess oil off. Works well on my bikes, I do it every 150 miles. Enjoy the bike, it’s a good one!
You’re probably right, I would imagine the gears need indexing by now, but he absolutely does need lubricant. It will help with smoother shifting, and make the chain last a lot longer.
I have looked on Halfords and the 2020 version only has green and black maybe I wasn't looking hard enough could you maybe send me a link to the orange version because I might get it. great video aswell. To send me a link just by replying to this comment it would be very helpful. 👍
Oh wow, I can't find it either. Looks like Halfords have discontinued this model and launched a newer Black & Green version. I definitely saw the orange one on their website 2 days ago, as I wanted to check a few specs on this. Good luck finding an orange one though.
It looks like the Orange became completely out of stock with everything that's going on. Halfords is only stocking the 2020 version with more stock of it coming in May.
Honestly, I did not like anything about the Apollo Phase. All the parts felt poorly made and I am pretty sure you will know what I mean, once you get your hands on the Carrera Vengeance. Congratulations on the new purchase 😬👌🏻
Hello. I know this is a old video now but the bike is still on for sale. I'm a little stuck on which one to get. I do like the look of this bike or is better to pay the extra £25 and go for the hellcatt?
Believe it or not, I bought that suspension seat before I bought the bike based on other youtube reviews but I have never had to use it. So its still sat in a box up on my attic...
Hi, I am having a hard time finding the right kick stand to order, could you share details of the one you have on your bike please? I have the same bike.
Do not use WD40 WD stands for Water Displacement also does the same with oil. Im in Scotland so I use a wet oil, if in a warmer country use a dry oil for the chain.
If you could remove the seat and replace it for a more comfortable and soft one, which would be the best to buy? As bike riding is not good for someone who wants to start a family one day but wants to ride a bike for fitness purposes
I bought my from cashconverters for only £79.99 but the back wheel I changed it for a 26 inch wheel off a apollo fs26 se and myn is all beat up the wheels ain't in the best condition but it still works apart from the disc break pads are heavily worn out now I've almost had it for a year and my chain slips to it's a typical carrea problem.😊
I have had this bike for 2 years and my chain has come off about 20 times. But I think that is because my gears aren't set up properly. Great bike though. Just wish it had a bit more travel for the riding I do. But great value for money.
I got this bike lazy week hardly used for 150 I'm black I think it's a lovely bike i may custom build the bike tho just keeping frame them building bike
Hey mate, I need to select between these bikes and I'm really confused Apollo gradient, Carrera hustle 1, Carrera hustle 2, Carrera vengeance which one do you think would be better?
Great review. I have the same bike and I love it. I'm using it for getting fit as I'd like to lose a bit of weight. What do you think the weight limit is ...
Thank you. Glad you found the review useful. And well done for taking the decision to improve your fitness 👏🏻 honestly, I don’t know the weight limit but my friend who bought the same bike pretty much at the same time is around 115kgs and he’s had no problems with the bike yet. Hope this helps 🙌🏻🙏🏻
My wife is 5”5 - she finds the ‘Small’ more comfortable than the ‘Medium’. I am 5”10 and I like ‘Large’ more than ‘Medium’. It depends on your preference but hope this helps 🙏🏻
Maintain your bike. Wd40 is not a lubricant. Change the seat, seat post, handlebars, grips, pedals and tyres, and add a 123mm handlebar riser and it will be lighter and perform better.
For this review, you convinced me to buy a bike from Halfords and you should get a 50% discount on the next purchase :D another thing is I am surprised you manage to not loose it for the last 2 y knowing that in London they steal bikes a lot!
Haha...thank you for the support and I am glad you found the video useful. May be Halfords will read your comment and offer to review more bikes on this channel 😉🙏🏻
You do have a point! My ideal size would have been a 19inch frame as 18 felt a bit too small and 20 was a little towards the big side. But I chose to compromise on the bigger side rather than ride a puny little bike 😉
As a solvent, WD-40 will strip away any existing lubricant, leaving your chain, and drivetrain dryer than before application. This means that using WD-40 as a chain lubricant is worse than using no lube at all. ... REI does not recommend using WD-40 on your bike
What do you think of the Carrera Vengeance in Orange? I absolutely love it in this colour.

I got this bike lazy week hardly used for 150 I'm black I think it's a lovely bike i may custom build the bike tho just keeping frame them building bike
Congratulations!! That is a cracking deal. Ride safe 🙌🏻
I'm 6ft 5" . Would the xl be ok??
GT85 spray is the best Do not use WD 40 on your bike it's rubbish just picks up the dirt GT85 is water based so it's more smooth
use the WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease Aerosol 400ml
And also I got all weather chain lube oil £5 from halfords
Thank you for sharing this. Will check this out and order a chain lube as my bike badly needs some 👍🏻
Hey mate, I need to select between these bikes and I'm really confused
Apollo gradient, Carrera hustle 1, Carrera hustle 2, Carrera vengeance
which one do you think would be better?
Great review. I have the same bike and I love it. I'm using it for getting fit as I'd like to lose a bit of weight. What do you think the weight limit is ...
Thank you. Glad you found the review useful. And well done for taking the decision to improve your fitness 👏🏻 honestly, I don’t know the weight limit but my friend who bought the same bike pretty much at the same time is around 115kgs and he’s had no problems with the bike yet. Hope this helps 🙌🏻🙏🏻
Nice bike
i’m 5”7/5”8, which do you think will be better.. Medium or Large?
My wife is 5”5 - she finds the ‘Small’ more comfortable than the ‘Medium’. I am 5”10 and I like ‘Large’ more than ‘Medium’. It depends on your preference but hope this helps 🙏🏻
Maintain your bike. Wd40 is not a lubricant. Change the seat, seat post, handlebars, grips, pedals and tyres, and add a 123mm handlebar riser and it will be lighter and perform better.
Matching watch
Just need a matching Lamborghini now 😉🤓
Orange looks mint..
I agree...
What your height i’m 5ft7 so should i go for medium as thats what halford website says
Not sure which size should you go for but I am 5' 10" and I prefer the 20inch frame for myself Best to try it out before commiting to it.
Bought the 2020 model in green today!
Nice one 👌🏻 What do you think of it my friend? And ride safe 🙌🏻
I’m picking my black one up tomorrow
What size frame that green one
chain lube and not wd40 but a bike spray lubricant
For this review, you convinced me to buy a bike from Halfords and you should get a 50% discount on the next purchase :D another thing is I am surprised you manage to not loose it for the last 2 y knowing that in London they steal bikes a lot!
Haha...thank you for the support and I am glad you found the video useful. May be Halfords will read your comment and offer to review more bikes on this channel 😉🙏🏻
He loves orange colour
Can someone help me with the Carrera Vengeance 6061 T6 if it is a good bike or not? And worth the purchase
bro no way ur dork disc hasent turned yellow yet ur lying
Think this bike is too big for you, seat post is way too low indicating this.
You do have a point! My ideal size would have been a 19inch frame as 18 felt a bit too small and 20 was a little towards the big side. But I chose to compromise on the bigger side rather than ride a puny little bike 😉
Just sold mine 😓
Oh dear....hope you get another one soon....
Do not use wd40
. It is not a lubricant
The quick release front wheel is an easy target for thieves. Not a fan!!
True. But there are always pros and cons with everything 🙃 I have just been lucky so far...
So anyone in the comments actually gonna buy one 😂
Yea my dark green correra vengeance comes tomorow 😅
WD40 is the best
As a solvent, WD-40 will strip away any existing lubricant, leaving your chain, and drivetrain dryer than before application. This means that using WD-40 as a chain lubricant is worse than using no lube at all. ... REI does not recommend using WD-40 on your bike
uhh fucking bike lube
