Pride bicycles: lineup and subtleties of choice
The bicycle is becoming an increasingly common means of transport. Even the laziest ones appreciate the versatility of cycling, which brings not only benefits, but also pleasure. In order for a two-wheeled vehicle to please its owner for long years, it is important when buying to give preference to high-quality models, for example, those produced by Pride.
History
The country of origin of the presented products is Ukraine.
The first model that rolled off the assembly line of the plant in 2006 was a children's bicycle. Even then, buyers highly appreciated the quality of the novelty.
Due to the relevance of the product, the company began to improve in the production of children's bicycles, but already in 2010 the enterprise began to produce a mountain range of two-wheeled vehicles focused on cross-country. Convinced of its technological capabilities, a year later the company began production of urban models.
At the beginning of its production path, Pride employed freelance design and construction specialists, but the state currently has its own team with extensive experience. All models are assembled at factories that have the appropriate certificates, the build quality and the sequence of production processes are strictly controlled.
Products
The Pride models feature a 6061 aluminum frame.
For bike owners, build quality, paintwork and frame geometry are also a plus. This is due to the fact that today most of the frames from other well-known manufacturers are made in Taiwan.
However, almost all of the components used are imported products. The body kit is well balanced on bicycles. And also fans appreciate the company for its wide range.
Let's list the most popular categories of models.
- Children's ruler. These are the most popular models. Perhaps the relevance of Pride children's bicycles and balance bikes can be explained by the trust of buyers in the Ukrainian company with more than 10 years of experience, because the company began its existence with the production of children's products.

Subtleties of choice
When choosing models from the Pride brand, heed the recommendations of the experts.
- First of all, decide on the purpose of the bike. If you need transportation for everyday use or riding from home to work, then buy urban models.When a bike is needed for a trip to the country, and the roads in the summer cottage cannot boast of good quality, then give preference to cross-country models. If in doubt about the choice for this item, then consult the seller.
- When buying children's bicycles, be sure to specify the age for which the model is intended. The brand's lineup includes, for example, items for children 5-8 years old and samples for children aged 8-12 years. Models differ in the diameter of the wheels, and, of course, it is worth considering not only the age, but also the height of the child.
For a 5-year-old kid, you should not take a teenage model "for growth", otherwise the process of learning on an uncomfortable high bike will only turn the child away from the desire to learn to ride.
- Do not bypass the gender classification of the bike. Pride models for women and men differ not only in design, but also in frame designs, made in accordance with the anatomical characteristics of cyclists of both genders.
- The too low price of Pride bikes should alert the buyer. The fact is that real products cannot be cheap, since all body kit and materials on bicycles are of imported origin, and, naturally, due to such components, the cost of the product cannot be low.
- Buy Pride products only from trusted retailers that specialize in sporting goods. If you do not trust local retail outlets, then order a suitable model in the online store, but be sure to choose the site carefully. The best option is to order through the manufacturer's official website.
