What Gears to Choose?

Choosing right gear depends on usage & budget.

1. Cassette Gears are better than Freewheel Gears
2. 1x gears like 7, 8, 9 and 2x gears like 18 are much better than 3x gears [like 21, 24, 27]. 3x gears are difficult to use, prone to issues & difficult to repair.
   
   

For general fitness use, our recommendation
-----
20-100km long rides on mostly flat terrain with some hills

1. 8speed or 9speed [if budget over 15k]
2. 7speed [only if budget under 15k]

-----
20-100km long ride on mix of flat terrain, high hills etc

1. Top Reco = 18 Gears
2. 2nd Reco = 24 Gears
3. Last Reco = 21 Gears [only if very tight budget]
