Cruiser bikes average price
According to our calculations, the average cost of a Cruiser bike that is reliable is 332$. However, you could also get a good Cruiser bike even if you pay a lower amount than the average price. In short, before purchasing your ideal bike do some research about its components, and also check for reviews online.
Cruiser bikes average weight
The average weight for Cruiser bikes is 15.83 kg (34.9 lbs). You will have a greater advantage on climbs if your bike is easier than the average. On descents, however, a heavier bike will give you extra speed.
Monterey W weighs 13.3 kg (29.32 lbs) and is much lighter than the average. In other words, this model is 19.02% lighter than the average Cruiser bike.
Overview of components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of aluminum, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Monterey W bike is equipped with the 700c aluminum model. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Norco Monterey W is equipped with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
