How to Choose a Trekking Bike
The primary factor in choosing a bike is the amount of time spent riding: one model over another can significantly enhance comfort and thus riding pleasure.
- Up to 2 hours: Bike weight is crucial—opt for a model with an aluminum frame and components.
- Up to 45 minutes: Prioritize safety and durability, favoring a steel frame and rigid fork.
- More than 2 hours: Consider features such as front/rear suspension, a gel saddle, and reinforced wheels.
