Examination Of A Few Great Outdoor Bikes

2016/7/25 11:45:06

There are some truly awesome outdoor bikes that are available on the market today in which adults well as children are sure to enjoy. These outdoor bikes that are available on the market today are becoming the best and most highly sought after bikes on the market today and for very good reason.

One of the greatest outdoor sport bikes on the market today is the Cannondale Rize, which is an extremely fast and feather weight carbon-fiber bike that has very unique and great attention getting features. This sports bike is the quickly becoming known as the flat-out fastest climbing bike of its group due to its very shockingly light weight of twenty-four pounds. This makes this bike a medium size bike that is sleek and has an uncluttered design that cuts the fat by using its combined stem and steerer tube and famed "lefty" single-armed carbon fork.

While most bikes have fine adjustable travel forks that have lockouts, which help stop inefficient bobbing on climbs, this amazing sports bike is safer and more accessible. This is because of its simple push-button switch that is located next to the handlebar and not a half-foot reach down. Some of the dislikes of this bike is that it has quick wheel removal that is great for transport when it can be a hassle. Instead of having to pop the wheel off with a standard quick-release the owners of these great sports bikes can easily loosen the hub and the two disc-brake bolts with an Allen wrench. Also, the smallish six inch rotor on the front brake tends to give more finger fatigue on the descents than the other sports bike on the market that use seven or eight inch rotors.

In the mountain-biking world where the probability of enjoying a breathtaking descent is often measured by the distance your bike's wheels can compress or travel when they hit a big rock, five inches of travel is always better than three or four. However, five inches typically comes on heavy, slow climbing and thirty-three pound bikes, there are some great advances in suspension design and tubing fabrication that have helped to bring big travel to nimble, sub-thirty pound bikes.

Another great sports bike on the market is the Trek Fuel EX-9, which is a high performance aluminum bike with unusual new frame configuration that is designed to maintain better traction during descents. This bike is an extremely smooth and fluid twenty-seven pound bike that does everything well, which is due to its innovative rear suspension that has a floating shock that is not directly anchored to the main frame.

This bike seems to minimize brake jack, which is the stutter-bump skidding that can occur when an individual brakes on a steep downhill. With the longest cockpit and wheelbase of any test bike, this bike puts individuals into a classic and efficient bike racer position. The only problem with this bike is that the long cockpit, which might leave the casual non-racer way too stretched out and uncomfortable.
