So, Set your budget according to your financial condition and all. If you are a beginner, I would suggest going with a hybrid bike which will cost you somewhere between 10000 to 15000 rupees in India.

Otherwise, MTBs are also suitable for newbies if they can afford somewhere around 15000 to 25000 rupees. Under this budget, You will get entry-level mountain bikes.

Step 3: Look for the brands which lie under your budget

Once you decide on your budget, 30% work will be completed. Check, which companies are making bicycles under your budget. Don’t worry! I have already prepared a chart for bicycle brands according to the budget.

Select at least 3 brands according to your budget. You can find that chart at the beginning of the article. The chart is well organised where all the brands are mentioned from low price to high price range.

Step 4: Select the best bicycle model accordingly

The next step is to select some bicycle models from the selected brands and compare them. Always compare an apple with an apple. Never compare a premium MTB with a low-price hybrid bike.

I mean always compare a premium quality hybrid bicycle of XYZ brand with the same quality hybrid bicycle of ABC brand. That would be a fair comparison and I am sure you would select the best one accordingly to your preference.

Step 5: Check the quality of the selected bicycle

After comparing the selected bicycles, don’t forget to check the quality and warranty period of the bicycle. We always want you to get the best quality bicycle for your ride therefore, we keep on guiding you with cycling tips and bicycle buying guides.

Premium-quality bicycle performs nicely and lasts longer than low-quality cycles. Once you find the best quality cycle, invest in that bicycle.

Step 6: Get some important bicycle accessories

Cycling is a sport as well as one of the best mediums for commuting. However, It’s not safe on Indian roads. Well, nothing is safe on the roads. We have to keep ourselves safe by wearing cycling helmets, reflectors, cycle bells and headlights at night etc.

Follow the golden rules of the roads while cycling on the roads. Also, get a good bicycle lock to keep your cycle safe from thieves.
