Best Bang for the Buck

Avalon

Whether you need an affordable bike for street, leisure, or exercise riding, it's hard to find one with more features or a tougher build for such a low price.

This bike has a strong build and dual-suspension frame that's capable of street and light trail riding. Brakes are responsive and not too difficult to adjust. Overall assembly is easy, too.

700c Connection Men's Multi-Use Bike

Seat is narrow and too firm for some riders. Has only 7 gears, but it's still able to handle most inclines and hills.

Schwinn

A mid-level bike when it comes to quality and price, and worth considering for its versatility, warranty, and trusted brand name.

Ideal for those who want a sturdy bike that offers a reliable ride on both trails and streets. It's built like a hybrid and sporty bike all in one, with 21 speeds and smooth-shifting gears. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

700c Denali Men's Road Bike

The seat could be more comfortable. Assembly is somewhat difficult, and the derailleurs and brakes can be hard to adjust. A few reports of missing pieces upon arrival.

GMC

If you primarily ride on streets, this is the bike to get. Otherwise, check out competitor models on our shortlist that provide a more versatile or rugged ride.

With 21 speeds, a lightweight frame, and high-profile rims, this men's bike is made for performance when it comes to zipping around on streets and other paved surfaces. Mid-range price.

Hitch Men's All-Terrain Fat Tire Bike

Gears don't shift very smoothly. Brakes and gears may need adjusting by a professional. Not made for riding on rough surfaces.

Mongoose

Choose this bike if you are looking for one that is suited for riding in all-terrain situations; however, its uses are limited, especially if also used like a bike for street riding.

Constructed to perform on extremely rough, mountainous terrain, as it sports grippy 4-inch tires, which also do a good job handling soft surfaces such as snow and sand. Looks as tough as it performs.
