How to choose the ideal bicycle: keys to comparing models and making the best decision

Cómo elegir la bicicleta ideal: claves para comparar modelos y tomar la mejor decisión


Buying a second-hand bicycle can become quite a challenge. You have to explore hundreds of options, compare models, analyze technical specifications, and often face a sea of doubts about which is the best choice.

If you are looking for a road bike to enjoy long rides on the asphalt or a mountain bike to venture into demanding terrains, it is normal to feel overwhelmed by the number of models and features available. Often, we turn to the most experienced member of our cycling group for guidance.

But what often happens is that we end up with more doubts than we had when they talk to us about frame geometries, suspension travel, gear ratios, crank lengths... Most bicycle manufacturers' websites and online stores offer an endless list of technical specifications and jargon. But very little information about the recommended type of use for each bicycle model. To avoid this complexity when searching, comparing, and deciding which bike to buy, at Tuvalum we have created the largest online bike recommender in Europe. It is an online tool that in 2 minutes or less lets you know which bikes are most suitable for you based on your usage characteristics and sporting goals.

The Tuvalum Recommender eliminates the difficulty of having to compare a ton of technical data about different models and of diving into hundreds of ads for second-hand, new, or used bikes. In this video, the Bikineros tell what the odyssey of searching, comparing, and deciding which bike to buy is like, and how the Tuvalum Recommender works.
