Altruism X9 Bike Review
”I loved trying out Xootr’s latest folding bike, the Xootr Swift is not only a stunning bike but it performs extremely well on the road too!”
The Altruism X9 is a high-performance folding mountain bike, it has been designed to be both agile and lightweight to enable rapid movement across whatever terrain you find yourself on.
We managed to test out the bike out on an off-road course close to our hometown and were incredibly impressed with how well it performed on some fairly steep and unstable hills. The Altruism X9 really does fly up hills and is more than capable of being used as a daily commuting bike too due to how lightweight it is.
Test Ride
The bike comes with a premium dual suspension system that is elegantly designed to maintain the bike’s stability and keep it comfortable for riders.
Altruism always ensures that their models can be folded away rapidly and that is no different with the Altruism X9 folding mountain bike, we managed to get it down in under 20 seconds and so you can easily dismount and jump on a bus or train if needs be on your commute.

Concluding Remarks
Overall we loved this Altruism bike, it looks absolutely stunning on the road and we thought it was well priced and will do a fantastic job for anybody looking for a decent quality entry-level mountain bike.
While there are many features that we would like to see added to it, it’s difficult to expect to find any of these on a bike that costs so little.
