Let's talk about cars, 3500 and Wolf Sex 3, which are all designed for long-distance travel. There are many kinds of shelves. Is it necessary to buy this long-distance station wagon if you just ride in the suburbs? Put a question mark.
Long-distance station wagons value comfort and durability, and pursue the ultimate weight. This is what road wagons should do. The car on a long journey weighs tens of kilograms. You see, the front fork and brakes of the long-distance station wagon are not too high-end, but the overall collocation is reasonable and comfortable to ride. This feeling can't be ridden in a short distance. Wolf 3 is the highest configuration in Merida long-distance station wagon, and its overall performance is better than 3500. Of course, the price is also more expensive. Choose for yourself.
Finally, the front fork is locked, which makes little difference on the flat ground, but when climbing a hill, especially on a long slope, you will know how big the difference is between locking and not locking. An unlocked fork eats strength and the strength of your arm very much.
Think about it. Is it really necessary to buy a long-distance station wagon
First of all, if you exercise, it is enough to buy an ordinary car. Three price classes, 1000+ can buy Merida Warrior 550, 2000+ can buy Duke 650 12, 3000-4000 can buy Challenge 12, and then pack the car. If you are a novice, the warrior duke is enough. That's great. If you do not know how to maintain or repair, it will be a burden. Merida's car quality is guaranteed. Many riders can ride Warriors 550 into Tibet, as long as you buy it in a regular physical store.
Personally, I prefer Merida First, Merida does less advertising and has higher cost performance. Second, Merida pays more attention to mountain bikes, while Giant pays more attention to road bikes. There are fewer physical stores of other brands, which is not convenient for purchase and maintenance.
There are so many amateur cyclists and so many professional drivers, and there are very few real problems. In addition, I believe that your riding intensity is much lower than theirs. As long as your riding posture is correct, there will be no problem.
