Safety
When you go for a ride, don’t forget to put your helmet on. Moreover, ride with traffic, not against it. This will help you stay visible to drivers and also makes it easier for them to see you.
Average price for Comfort bikes
If you want an acceptable Comfort bike you should know that the average price is 360$. However, even if your budget is less than the average, you might still be able to get a top-quality Comfort bike. As a general rule of thumb, you should always read reviews about the bike and its components before buying it to ensure you don’t pay too much.
When Polygon released this model in 2018, its price was 569$. In conclusion, this bike price is 58.06% higher than the price of the average Comfort bike.
Comfort bikes average weight
If we make a quick analysis of the average weight of a Comfort bike, we get 15.11 kg (33.31 lbs). An easier bike will give you a big advantage in climbs. However, a heavier bike can gain speed when you descend.
Weighing 13.6 kg (29.98 lbs), the SIERRA DELUXE SPORT Gent/Lady model is considerably lighter than average. To sum up, it’s 11.1% lighter than the average weight of Comfort bikes.
Overview of components
Fork
This bike has the SunTour NEX fork installed. The fork’s travel is 63mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the SIERRA DELUXE SPORT Gent/Lady model has 700c aluminum wheels. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Polygon SIERRA DELUXE SPORT Gent/Lady has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In conclusion, double-check its size to make sure it’s a good fit for you.
