• The ratio of height, weight and age. The most important indicator that you should definitely consider when choosing. Experts advise choosing a bike so that it is as comfortable to sit on it. Here is a small table for comparison.

• Warranty. Be sure to ask about the availability of the warranty and the duration of the warranty period. It also does not hurt to find out if the seller has a warranty workshop. Silverback has one.

• Wheels. The larger the diameter of the wheel, the greater the speed the vehicle can develop.That is why bicycles of city, highway and tourist type are equipped with wheels with a diameter of 27-29 inches. Although for normal use, 16 inches is enough.

• The brakes. For short trips and driving around the city, you can limit yourself to V-Brake mechanical disc or rim brakes - they are quite reliable and easy to repair. For off-road driving it is better to use hydraulic disc brakes. They are more reliable, more durable, but much more expensive.

• Number of speeds. There are many parameters for speed indicators, but the most common are 18, 21, 24, and 27. In fact, this is only a general designation, but in reality the maximum combination between them is the sum of the number of front and rear sprockets.
