Before you buy
Fit and safety: Check helmet size and shoe fit on the product page before ordering. Helmet protection claims are the manufacturer's; we don't make medical claims about any product here.
Entry bikes: Amazon complete bikes are entry-level. Expect manufacturer assembly steps and a shop safety check / tune after setup. Size and fit bands are approximate — confirm frame size on the product page.
Trainers: Confirm whether a cassette is included (e.g. Suito vs Suito-T; CORE vs CORE 2). Do not confuse generations.
