Choosing the Right Bike
Below we have set out 5 important steps in deciding what bike to buy. Following these steps will make your purchase (and your riding) a lot more pleasant experience.
The two most important steps are to choose the right type of bike - eg road, mountain or hybrid and then choose the right frame.
- Decide how you want to ride. We'll help you identify what type of terrain, roads or trails you want to ride on and find the style of bicycle designed to meet your riding needs.
- Choose the frame that's right for you. 70% of how a bike rides is determined by the frame. The lightest, stiffest and strongest frame you select will ensure the best performance for you. A well designed frame in terms of geometry will give you better handling and greater comfort.
- Compare the specs. After the bike's frame, evaluate its wheels, suspension and drivetrain components - in that order. Wheels are the most important spec item to consider - they carry your weight on the road and need to be strong for durability and lightweight for acceleration.
- Get the right fit. Make sure the bike you select is the right size and properly adjusted for optimum performance and comfort
- Maximize fun and performance with the right accessories. There's more to cycling than the bike. Find out what accessories you need for fun, safe cycling.
