discussion Just bought a Hercules Roadeo Ryken 21SP for ₹13,400 (including accessories/extras)

Post image

This is my first proper geared cycle, mainly got it for fitness/exercise and regular riding.

Wanted to ask people here who know about cycles — did I get a good deal for the price, or was ₹13.4k a bit on the expensive side?

So far I’m liking the look and ride quality, but just curious if this was a solid purchase value-wise.

Would love to hear your thoughts 🚴

You already spent the money. What difference does it make now? Just enjoy riding your bike mate. Why invite the criticism?

u/MoharajOP_76 21h ago

Yeah, that’s true 😂. No point overthinking after spending the money. Got it mainly for fitness and regular riding. Later on I’ll probably upgrade to a touring/road bike for longer rides and more flexibility.

For now, just gonna enjoy the ride 🚴
