How to choose your cycling gear

• Type of riding: tarmac, gravel or technical singletrack determines frame geometry, tyre width and suspension travel.
• Frame size: choose by height and inside leg measurement; the wrong size leads to back and wrist pain.
• Frame material: aluminium is durable and better value, carbon is lighter and smoother over vibration.
• Helmet fit: look for certification, a level fit and no movement when you shake your head.
• Shorts chamois: longer rides need a thicker, denser pad – always wear bib or shorts without underwear.
• Shoes and pedals: check cleat compatibility – two-bolt SPD for MTB and gravel, three-bolt systems for road.
• Layering: a moisture-wicking base layer, an insulating mid layer and a windproof or waterproof shell.

Brands

The range includes bikes from Giant, Santa Cruz, Cervélo and Focus, components by Shimano, tyres by Schwalbe, clothing from Castelli, Craft and AGU, protection by Fox, shoes by Gaerne and gloves by Chiba.

Frequently asked questions

Which bike should a beginner buy?

For tarmac and firm paths a trekking or gravel bike works well, while a hardtail mountain bike suits forest trails. Getting the frame size right matters more than the spec.

How do I find the right helmet size?

Measure your head circumference about 2 cm above the eyebrows and compare it with the manufacturer's size chart. The helmet should sit level and stay in place before you tighten the straps.

Do I need clipless pedals?

Clipless pedals improve power transfer and foot stability on longer rides, while flat pedals are more practical for commuting and technical descents.

How often should I lube my chain?

Roughly every 150–300 km, and always after riding in rain or mud, cleaning and degreasing the drivetrain first.
