Selection Tips
For all the virtues of Porsche bicycles, they must be chosen as carefully as other brands. Even more than that: since the models from this manufacturer are expensive, it makes no sense to overpay for those functions that are not initially required.
Of course, you should examine this or that product carefully, evaluate its aesthetic qualities and try it “on the go”. Hybrid bike options are great for the urban user.
But both in the village and in hard-to-reach areas, the size of the frame is of great importance. If it doesn't fit, no amount of innovation, no amount of good quality materials will help. Products with "toothy" tread can overcome the most difficult terrain. But for ordinary everyday driving, it makes no sense to spend money on such high-quality rubber - you can get by with smoother tires. Experts also advise to be interested in the following parameters:
- depreciation level;
- the number of speeds and their relevance to a particular person;
- type of brakes;
- the necessary set of accessories.
