Biking is one of the oldest modes of transportation around, dating back to the early 19th century. But back then, you didn't need to dish out thousands for a set of wheels nor deal with the complexities of choosing the right setup. Pure Cycles is on a mission to get back to those roots—and is making purchasing a bike simple and affordable again. Here are three options starting at just $399, each designed for a specific type of rider in mind.
Pure Cycles Drop Bar Road Bike
This 16-speed road bike is equipped to handle hills, mountains, and open roads with ease. The drop bars position you perfectly for long rides and the chromoly mainframe and fork are lightweight and airy. If you're looking to stick to paved roads, this bike is ideal for everything from your commute to work to weekend cruises through the mountains. Order one preassembled or save some cash and do it yourself. Either way, Popular Mechanics readers can save 27 percent off when you purchase it now—just $400.
Pure Cycles Gravel Adventure Bike
If pavement pounding isn't in your vocabulary, you'll be better off with a ride ready to take on rougher terrain. The Adventure Bike is designed with gravel-ready geometry to maintain control on loose surfaces and packs powerful disc breaks that won't let you down when you need them most. Normally $800, you can snag yours for just $600 today, much less than your average mountain bike.
Pure Cycles Gravel Adventure Pro Bike
This upgraded version of the Gravel Adventure Bike adds in 18 wilderness-ready speeds for true off-roaders. Plus, with Shimano Sora shifters and additional mounts, you'll be more than ready to ride off the beaten path. Normally $900, true adventurers can pay just $700 in the PopMech Shop, leaving you with zero excuses to not hit the road. See our reviews for the best gravel bikes for even more top picks.
