  1. the following price range is dirhams (1 USD = 3.67 Dh)
    the range i am finding is roughly between 900-1800 dhs
    i will link 4 bikes which i think are best
    pls help me find a good enough first bike if you got the time

    first one is GT Agressor which i guess is the only one without a freewheel
    if you got the time plz check them out

  2. I'm not sure if GT aggressor is cassette/freehub. It's 7-speed and the smallest sprocket rear is 14t like you find in many freewheels (it's disappointing they didn't give closer picture of the rear hub). Although the Quick Release rear hub and the price, it might actually be cassette/freehub.

    Another cassette/freehub bike in there is the Spartan Dolomite 700c. I'm pretty sure that would be cassette as the smallest rear sprocket is 11t ONLY IF those specs are accurate.

    Not sure I would choose any. My LBS has far better spec offerings at that price range like 10 speed cassette, Shimano Deore RD. Not sure if Asian company brand bikes are available at your place. I prefer their bikes due to higher end components.

    both Dolomite 700C and Aggressor are cassettes cause I can't see that plastic of free wheel ig
    i got some finals rn so i will check some bikes in person so i can decide
    i basically want something that can go off curbs easy cause am just above 220lbs so i dont want the bike to be damage

    Thanks btw

    In that case, the GT Aggressor would be the more suitable bike at your weight.

    I don't think you should be riding even that bike off curbs with you on it.

    Yeah, adult-size BMX? Why not.

    But the problem with BMX frame, if you're going to use it as commuter or for longer rides, you'll need a long seatpost. And our friend weighs over 220 lbs so that's not very good, he might bend the seatpost and ruin the frame.

    Also heavy riders would have less success with single speed unless all that weight is muscle like someone with body-builder or sprinter body, else, he's going to have problem going up hills on a single speed / fixie bike.

  12. At 220, I wouldn't waste my money on any of those bikes. Unless you have money to buy a new rear wheel when that one breaks.

    And cheap suspension at 220? That fork will be toast in a couple of months if you actually ride the bike.

    it looks like you are spammer [USER=180983]@admin[/USER] please check ...coz i see majority answering nothing related to question and looks they are promoting their brands

  15. bike budget depends upon the region.
    i would say for east it would be something around 50$ to 500$ at max

  16. Hey there! When it comes to budgeting for a bike tour, it really depends on the region you're planning to explore. For the East, I'd recommend setting aside around $50 to $500 at the most. Happy touring! ‍♂️
