All your ratings for all the bikes are always 4 stars. Please give a solid review with proper pros and cons. Your verdict does not carry any real insights.
Generally speaking, there aren't a whole lot of substantial differences in this class of bike, the flat bar, road/urban/fitness class. So you can pretty much rate the bike yourself with a little bit of research. Base it on the "build level" of the bike, or what level of componentry and find out the price point the manufacturer has put the bike at. Then compare it to similar bikes from other manufacturers. Since this specific bike looks to be mainly a Sora build, check out other Sora build flat bar road bikes and how much they cost. The Giant Fastroad is a good example, or the Cube SL Road. Polygon has a very similar bike to this one, the Bend FX4, that is a Tiagra build, or one level higher than Sora. Bikesonline sells it for $799. That is a LOT of bike for $799 and I'd definitely check it out. And if you're wondering about the quality of the bike, or whether it's been compromised in any way to get the price down so low, just consider the Bend FX4 shares the exact same frame and wheel set as their $1400 Bend CT5. In order for the Sora Merida in the vid could compare, it would have to be a fair amount lower in price, like maybe the $650 range. But I seriously doubt it's going for that. Sora-equipped bikes typically go for substantially more than $799. Most often it's closer to $1000 and Tiagra bikes usually occupy the $1200-1500 range before it drops off and you start seeing 105 builds and 1x Apex from $1500 and up.
Actually I found a Merida dealer in New Zealand selling the 2020 Speeder 300 for $1315 New Zealand dollars, which translates to around $915 US. Equipped with Sram Apex 1, that's a fantastic deal. I've never seen an Apex 1 equipped bike for any less than around $1400 US. So if that's any indication and prices are similar in Germany, Taiwan and elsewhere, these Speeder bikes are a hell of a bargain, even better than what Polygon has to offer.
@@madcapper6 wheels and hubs may get you though. Only after 1 year and a few thousand kms I am replacing the weird hub of the joytech unknown free hub with DT swiss which are also half a lg lighter. Im not saying though for general use probably ok. We have 3 of the speeder 500s in Germany and only mine has a funky hub which is almost impossible to replace because its an oddity
The Firefox Rapide 21S is a more performance based bicycle and is built for speed. where as the Road Runner Pro has a more comfort Geometry and is better suited for long distance riding and touring
Thanks for your response. I think I'm gonna go with Rapide 21S, as I am planning to use it mainly as a mode of transportation between office and home, which is like around 16Kms, one way.
The Speeder has Sora gearing which is road focussed where as the Quick 5 has Altus/Acera which is a MTB focused gears. They are both good bicycles and if you want speed then the Speeder 200, if you are looking for endurance then Cannondale Quick 5
ChooseMyBicycle please review all.kind of bikes like hybrid, Math's road bikes and all. Also let us know the best bicycle to purchase under 15k with disk brakes, shock absorber a with lock in lock out and both front and back gear system
@@ChooseMyBicycleChannel many thanks. How about the speeder 400? I've compared that to the Cannondale quick 1. Both come with 105 groupsets. In your expert opinion which one is superior?
You should review the B’Twin Riverside 900. It is a great mid spec hybrid bike with hydraulic brakes and a 1x10 gearing. I’d love to see your opinion on it.

@@relaksj did it sound to you like he doesn't already have a generally good command of English? At that level, this isn't criticism; it's a pointer so that he might understand how to pronounce the word. You make it sound like I was calling him a cunt for pronouncing the word wrongly. If everyone thought that way, no one would learn anything right. Also, it's "your" not "you're".

54K is pretty insane pricing.But yeah,It's an amazing bike.
I think price can be justified with hydraulic disc breaks, shimano sora and amazing looks the speeder gives you. Suspension should have been added.
Nice music

Cheap and fast bike for city. Nothing more.
It's not a bi-cycle. Its a bicycle, which is pronounced bi-se-cle
