Are you considering Firefox?

I currently have a Firefox TARGET. It's complete alloy body and alloy rims. Front telescopic suspension. Mine weighs less than by a kid's school backpack.
Back in 2011 it costed ₹14,000, the cost is likely to be changed by now but not by much. Also, you can have disk brakes fitted at Firefox itself. They assemble the bike as per order and offer you an option for disk brake upgrade and certain other tempting upgrades as well. Needless to say, at that cost they also provide you with a complete tool kit and user manual for Shimano gear, etc.

Do google this brand, and include it in your choices.

Re: Need a Suggestions for a New Bicycle Under Rs.15,000

I am very happy with the Btwin rockrider 5.1 which I purchased recently. At 14kg, it's quite light for an MTB. It's front shocks and frame iron out bumps nicely, it's a gem to ride on bad roads and hills. I am also quite happy with the great ratios : I can easily tackle step climbs. But it's topmost gear is not 'top' enough, if you know what I mean. I can't keep up with fellow road bikers. On the whole, I'm satisfied with it and I would recommend it to you.

PS : the RR 5.1 doesn't have disc brakes, but imo, you don't need them. The v-brakes which come with the bike are more than adequate

Re: Need a Suggestions for a New Bicycle Under Rs.15,000

Thank you ,Mr.AGS1173 and Mr.Exattic ! I also have kept the Btwin Rock-Rider 5.1 in my list and Mr.Exattic,I have had real bad experience with the Hercules and their Cycles.Moreover,The Build quality is nowhere near even to my Current Ride - LA Soveriegn Spark SP.My current ride is 8 Years Old and I can find NO Rust,Corrosion or Dent in her.I want that 'Suzuki Samurai' Build quality !! and The Suspension setup even for the Rodeo A300 is horrible.I will never look at Hercules now.I bought my Old Cycle for 6K and now I am seeing very Urgent buyers who are ready to pay 3K for an 8 Year Old Cycle !! I have recently spend Rs.400 on Maintenance (New Oil,Oil Service,New Brake Wires and Pads,Oil Cleaning,Rust Proofing,Chain Tightening and Finally new Bolts) and she is Good as New ! Guys,How is the Cosmic Voyager ? I Drove one and was Bowled Over by it's Ride Quality and Build Quality.One small thing : Many people are telling Cosmic is a Chinese brand and all.Please help me out here ?

IMO stick to the reputed brands (Btwin, Fuji, Schwinn, Merida, Trek etc.). They're solidly built and you won't have to worry about the bike breaking down.

Re: Need a Suggestions for a New Bicycle Under Rs.15,000

Thank you Sir.I saw the xBicycle Camber 26" with Full Aluminum Frame,Dual Discs and Stability enhancer,Shimano Click type 21 Gear system at an Unbelievable Rs.9500 ! I havn't met any owners and it's Build quality looks top notch.Will TD and tell you... I do not want the Rockrider 5.1 as it feels Overpriced with almost no features I wanted.Except that Btwin,Do the above mentioned cycles come under my Budget that is 15K ? Thank you

**sparky** · 10-17-2014, 11:51 AM

Re: Need a Suggestions for a New Bicycle Under Rs.15,000

It is difficult to get all you you ask for in a 15k budget, since you say you are a regular cycle users I would suggest you spend up to 20k and get a good bicycle. In this range you will get some good brands like Schwin, Btwin, may be Giant and KHS also. One can't beat the Btwins for best bicycles for the money.

Re: Need a Suggestions for a New Bicycle Under Rs.15,000

Thank you for your Kind words Mr.Sparky,But I have clearly mentioned My Budget is MAX 15k and I can't raise it.My minimum is Front Suspension and Disc Brake,Actually Both these on the Front is enough for me but eh... You know

! That's why I mentioned like that.I am fed up with Power Brakes and Wheel Rim Bends because of the Bad Roads and some stupid People with almost no Road sense,It makes me to Panic brake my ride and She locks and the next thing I see is My Cycle flying and I falling on the Road ! Those fools see this and say 'Dei,Paathu otu Thambi' meaning to Watch and drive carefully ! It makes me so damn Angry ! It seems even street dogs watch both sides of roads and cross unlike these fools !

Re: Need a Suggestions for a New Bicycle Under Rs.15,000

Hello again guys.I am back.I needed medical help so my Bidget has been dropped to 10K.Now all I need is Good Build and ride Quality.I TD\'d the Camber and the RR 5.1 sure the RR 5.1 felt a bit better but a Rs.4K extra couldn\'t justify it.Also that Camber had alot of missing essentials.I have seen another cycle,The LA Soveriegn Leopard with all those including the KENDA Tyres ! KENDA is known to be the Pirrelli and Metzellers of Cycle tyres.Slightly above 10K.
