Help me to choose bike.
Hello members
Kindly help me to choose bicycle. I have shortlisted 3 bikes as follows:
Merida Scultura Endurance 4000 (2022)
Scott Addict 30 (2022)
Giant Defy Advanced 2 (2022)
Specs are almost same of these bicycles. There is some difference in geometry for sure.
Kindly suggest me which bike is the best than other 2 bikes. What do you say which bike i have to buy.
I am from INDIA. My riding style is Endurance. I love to do long distance rides. My speed varies in between 26 to 30 kmph.

Honestly, there is NO best out of these bikes. Only a best for you. All I would say is that you have picked 3 excellent choices for endurance road. None of them will hold you back, so pick the one that you like the look of most.

It will likely come down to which one is most immediately available and in your size.

Are you able to test ride them? That's the only thing that would tip the scales in my opinion as those are all great brands.

Having a test ride of all three bikes would be your best bet. It's good that you are already picking within top 3 choices, and at the end of the day it's your bike and your choice regardless of what we say. In my opinion all three are excellent bikes, I personally like the Giant Defy, it's a proven and smooth riding bike that's great for long rides.

I see. Well as said above, the specs are very similar, so if you know which geometry would work best for you, I would pick that. If you're not sure, chances are any of those bikes should have enough room to make it fit (assuming you get the correct size). What color do you like best?

Two of my team mates ride Scott Addict 30's (2021) and they really like them. if it were my decision, I'd go for the Scott but that is based upon friend's feedback and looks.

I worked at Scott Dealer for a good bit and rather liked what they had for the most part and the Addict was a neat bike when it came out. Of the three that would probably the top followed by Merida and Giant at the way bottom.

Not sure how we can help you with the geometry. Specs are close enough not to matter either way.
