Falcon Turbine Component Record: Motinova Drive, Steel Frame and 27.5-Inch Wheels
A Falcon Turbine component record needs the exact product version. The current Tandem Group Cycles listing, code 690589, describes a steel frame, Motinova rear-hub motor and 27.5-inch wheels. Those details identify this advertised configuration; the Turbine name by itself does not verify the equipment on every earlier bicycle.
Keep the Falcon Turbine component record together
The Frame field specifies steel, internal cable routing and an integrated removable battery. The manufacturer’s description calls this a modern take on a classic model. That wording does not provide a dated history of every Turbine generation, so the current steel-frame entry should not be assigned to an unidentified older bike.
The motor table names a Motinova rear-hub unit with 35Nm torque. The battery is listed as 36V, 10.2Ah and 368Wh. Read these as related entries on the same product record, rather than mixing them with a Bafang or Ananda description found elsewhere in the Falcon range. They supply no measured riding range or replacement electrical-part approval.
Separate fork travel from use approval
For a Falcon Turbine 120mm fork enquiry, the published description is a 27.5-inch suspension fork with 120mm travel. That identifies advertised travel, not an impact rating, a service procedure or permission for a particular riding category. The page does not establish the complete replacement-fork specification.
A Falcon Turbine steel frame search can help locate the corresponding listing, but frame material alone is not a total-weight figure or a performance comparison. Likewise, the contemporary motor description cannot be verified from the older road bicycle shown as Falcon brand context. Actual identification should connect the offered bicycle with its own model and equipment record.
Read the wheel and tyre entries separately
The Falcon Turbine wheel specification lists 27.5-inch double-wall alloy rims, with a 32-hole front and 36-hole rear description. Its tyres are Ralson Vector tan-wall, 27.5x2.35 inches. These are the supplied wheel-family and tyre-size labels; they do not state internal rim width or maximum permitted tyre clearance.
The tyres’ appearance or published width does not prove measured grip, suitability for every surface or spare-tyre compatibility. For a replacement enquiry, retain the complete wheel and tyre markings from the actual bicycle instead of using just the headline wheel size. Keep any unlisted interface unknown until the applicable supplier confirms it.
The Falcon Turbine Motinova motor entry and the remaining components form one checkable version record. Consult the existing brand introduction for context, while keeping this specification attached to code 690589. Falcon topic; Falcon brand introduction.
FAQ
Does this listing identify a steel frame?
Yes. The current product’s Frame field explicitly says steel.
What tyre size is recorded?
It names Ralson Vector tan-wall tyres in 27.5x2.35 inches.
Does 120mm travel establish an approved riding category?
No. A travel figure is not a use classification or an impact-load rating.
