  1. This is a Lengthy Messafe

    Last weekend I saw a few bikes and Hybrids stood out to me more than mtbs,
    A quick overview of me am 177cm 104kg so u can call me a + size rider
    The MTBs T looked wayy heavier and bulkier than the Hybrids which are easier to ride

    This will be my first proper bike and here are the options I have
    1 USD = 3.67 Dhs ( 4 approx )

    Hybrid:
    Trek FX1 - 2800Dh
    Fuji Absolute 1.9 - 2500Dhs
    Sunspeed Kepler Hybrid bike - 1500Dhs

    Sunspeed bike images are attached at last

    MTB-
    Trek Marlin 4 - 2600 Dhs
    GT Aggressor Sport - 2300 Dhs

    Very honestly I would like to buy a Hybrid after I saw it in person
    Trek will be my favorable brand but looks and price wise Sunspeed Wins

    Someone tell me also what’s the main diff in performance of Hub and Freewheel
    As the trek has freewheel and Sunspeed has Cassette Hub

    I need to know which will be more suitable for my weight cause I don’t want the bike to be a servicing nightmare cause of my weight
    Pls look into the components of the Hybrids and MTB too if u have the time, and give me some advice on it

    Are there also anymore trek or other brands hybrids in 1000-3000 dhs price range

    The cassette hub is stronger and better able to take on your weight compared to freewheel.

    Anyway, that Sunspeed Kepler frame is actually a gravel bike frame. The distance to the handlebar maybe shorter but not really a big issue, just FYI. Over here, the same bike has drop bar and 2x drivetrain and looks identical to a road bike except with wider tires.

  5. Hey, glad you're happy with your choice! If you're looking to optimize aerodynamics in cycling, I recommend focusing on bike position and reducing drag. ‍♂️
