• Among the budget mountain bikes can be called a model Paladin Disk by Winner. Reviews about him are relatively good. Despite the average quality, the frame copes with its task. By default, a 24-speed transmission and disc brakes are provided. The shock-absorbing fork fully corresponds to the initial category. The design is designed only for a neat ride. Important: to buy bicycles (not only Chinese) in Auchan stores and the like are not worth it. Their equipment is very weak, and the assembly is unlikely to please cyclists.

• A good alternative can be considered models with alloy wheels. Modification Land rover considered to belong to the mountain-walking group.

• The next important moment when choosing a bike is the standard size. In addition, it is customized individually for you. It’s very good to try cycling. When moving, no crunch, other sounds should appear. The slightest manifestations of them mean that the product is not enough quality.

Important: regardless of the company and the specific model, it is necessary to evaluate both the effect of the switches and their appearance. You should refuse to buy a bicycle if at least one fundamentally important part is not indicated by the manufacturer. When this is all right, you need to evaluate how strong the steering wheel and take-out are.
