[QUOTE="desiibond, post: 2471372, member: 23023"] MTB is meant for riding off road. If you are going to ride in city, there is absolutely no point in buying MTB. On normal roads or roads with ups and downs, MTB will drain your energy much faster. Up your budget just a little bit and check Firefox Athelio. I have BTWIN Rockrider ST520 and every time I ride it on Bangalore roads, I curse myself for not getting a hybrid road bike. I got this bike thinking of Bangalore road conditions and it was a mistake. It is hard to go beyond 18kmph as this fatty is hard to navigate ups and downs. Even on plain roads, a road or hybrid bike is lot more enjoyable. Coming to brands. Buying a bicycle is not like buying a phone. It requires regular care and servicing, For geared bicycle, if Deraileur if not tuned properly, chain will slip a lot. Go to Firefox or reputed multi brand bicycle stores in your city and purchase one that is most comfortable and easy to ride for you. Also, make sure that when you give it for service, you give it to mechanic who knows his shit. Do not go for one that gives more features. These generic brands suck when it comes to setup of gears. The biggest difference is weight and life of frame. Those Lifelong bikes weight bloody 21kgs. Compare that to Firefox Athelio the weighs 14kgs. Athelio will also have better frame quality. Even the Urban terrain one weighs good 2kgs more than the Athelio. Road bikes: Fastest of call, pricey, street kings. Hybrid bikes: VFM, easier to pedal, faster, ideal for city rides and rides on road. MTB: Slowest of all, low cost, off-road kings. [/QUOTE]
