Buying guide

If you are a new road rider, it is handy to know what to look for when it comes to finding the right mountain bike. The sort of bike you choose may depend upon three things: type of riding you like to do, the terrain you will typically ride on, and off course, your budget. Here are some focus points to look into when buying a new mountain bike.

1. Get the right frame size. You should note down the measurement of the distance from the saddle to the bars and the distance from the center of the crank to the mid-head tube.  For road bikes, the longer the better.   A long front triangle puts the axle further ahead for a better grip.  A short seat tube gives a good stand over and the greatest room for maneuver, but make sure you can still get full pedaling height without overextending the seat post. 

2. Choose the right wheel size. For aggressive trail and downhill 27.5-inch diameter is preferable and for XC and trail, a 29-inch diameter is preferable. 

3. Choose either hardtail or full suspension bikes. The full suspension bikes have an expensive rear shock, bearings, linkage, and extra manufacturing complications. But these bikes are now more advanced than ever. Consequently, the hardtail bikes have better parts specs than full-suss bikes at the same price. So you’ll have less maintenance and fewer things to go wrong, too.

4. Don’t get too concerned about the weight. Weight is important, but you should also pay attention to strength. It’s better to carry a few extra pounds and keep your bike out of the hedge. And out of the workshop, too.

5. Don’t get fooled by the flashy ornaments.  Most bikes are decorated with nice rear derailleurs, to attract customers. A quality mech is important, but more important are the shifters, cranksets, and the chainrings. Be aware that lower-spec components are heavier, more fragile, and not worth paying.

6. Save some budget for other accessories.  Don’t forget to budget for body protection.  A moto-style full-face helmet, goggles, sticky shoes for flat pedals, and knee protection are typically minimum investments.

Conclusion

In the end, we can say that riding with the Gravity FSX is safe and as well exciting on the rough terrains or the country roads. If you are looking for a beautiful quality mountain bike at a bargain price, then grab yourself Gravity FSX 2.0 and become your legend.
