Answer 1

hi!!
it depends upon your route. if its not a smooth road then u hav 2 go on a mtb/atb, but if its a smooth road then u cn eidr buy mtb/atb or a racer.
but as u r tokin bout so long route dn it mst have gears. and i recommend gear speeds of 15, 18 & 21. Because deez cycles actually have 5, 6, and 7 cranks at d rear wheel respectively but in addition to it dey have 3 more cranks were u pedal. so giving u higher speeds. it could be bettr if its body is made of almunium or alloy. and as u wil b driving in india den pathholes would definately be ther in ur way and de give a jerk n u cud evn looz ur balance n u cud evn get hurt badly so to prevent it d cycle shud hav front and rear suspension. and the racers dont provide ny suspensions so i dont recommend a racer. and as u will be riding on d roads dn i think u wud be needing a speedometer (approx. Rs. 180), headlamp (approx. Rs. 250), brakelight (approx. Rs.180) n fornt n rear indicators (approx. Rs. 220) also. u cn evn get a horn on it which costs around Rs. 130 but d cycle makers genrally dont give deez accessories along wid d cycle so u hav to to get dm on ur cycle. And ol deez accessories will cost u a total of around Rs. 900. And u r doing such a long ride dn definately u need to get a water bottle mounted on ur cycle wich cost around Rs. 150. And u r doing such a long ride so definately d company should be good so i recommend Hercules, Hero, Firefox and BSA. And d cycles form deez companies which provide deez features r:

Hercules WOW 18 spd - Rs. 5155
minus - doznt hav a carrier and d mudguard r of plastic.
plus - gud quality n good looking, has 18 gears

Hercules Shox 6 spd - Rs. 4455
minus - body isnt mad of alloy or almunium, has only 6 gears.
plus - gud quality n good loking

Hero Ranger DTB - around Rs. 4600
minus - mudgaurds r made of plastic body isnt made of alloy or almunium, gears r not of very gud quality.
plus - very good looking, has 21 gears

BSA Torq - Rs. 7990
minus - doeznt hav a carrier and mudguards.
plus - guuud lookin n damnnnnnn sporty, veryyyyyy guud qualit, powerful suspensions, n powerful W O W Brakes, has, 21 gears

u cn chekout som almunium bikes of hero on its site.

u cn evn chekout some bike of firefox on deir site but de r pretty costly

u shud chekout bicycles in the showrooms n shops coz d sites r not upgraded regularly n som cycles wich hav been launchd n r sold r not listed on the sites

ny way deez r d sites of deez companies
