Decathlon Triban RC 120 Disc Brake Aluminum Road Bike

Walmart

Anyone looking to get out on the road will enjoy the Decathlon Triban Aluminum Road Bike. It’s lightweight, the comfortable frame is easy to handle and puts cyclists in the perfect, more upright position to commute or ride for longer distances. The bike also has good mechanical disc brakes so you can stop quickly even when the roads are slick with water. The bike is also outfitted with two Microshift derailleurs in the front and back and is equipped with eight speeds. You can even adapt the bike by adding mudguards or a rack to the front or back of the bike so you can hit the road well-equipped no matter where you are or where you’re going.

Kent 700c Nazz Gravel Road Bike

With a similar build to the Decathlon Triban, the Kent 700c Nazz Gravel Road Bike is an economical yet versatile bike option. The Kent gravel and road bike is outfitted with gravel tires and high-quality parts like Shimano shifters and derailleur. The bike features 14 speeds and mechanical disc brakes so it will handle well no matter what terrain you’re riding across. The steel frame is sturdy and will minimize road vibrations too. This is a great option for varied riding surfaces as well as a good bike for training. The wider tires and heavier frame will make riding a more challenging workout, but you’ll be all the stronger for it.

Schwinn Boundary Electric Mountain Bike

Anyone new to mountain biking might be surprised at just out difficult the inclines can be. That’s why electrically assisted mountain bikes are becoming so incredibly popular. The Schwinn Boundary Electric Mountain Bike is a good build with the added power of a battery pack, too. The bike’s power pack has five levels of assist and can reach up to 20 miles per hour. However, the assist only lasts up to 45 miles, so use it sparingly on longer rides. But with seven gears and a lightweight aluminum frame, you’ll be able to push yourself without the assist on flats and shorter hills.

Schwinn Axum DP Mountain Bike

Those who don’t want the added weight of a power pack and the option for assistance while mountain biking can turn to the Schwinn Axum DP Mountain bike. This bike is also made with a light aluminum frame and has eight gears so you can adjust your pedal speed as the landscape changes. You’ll also be able to stop quickly with front and rear mechanical disc brakes too. Finally, the bike has a 100mm front suspension system to absorb all the bumps along the way.

Takara Sugiyama

The Takara Sugiyama is an ideal all-purpose city bike. The straight-forward bike is best used for commuting, riding around town or leisure rides. The easy-to-use pull brakes are intuitive and the flat handlebar makes for a comfortable upright position while you ride. The bike even offers gear options because it has both fixed gearing and a single-speed freewheel that you can change between. Just find your preference and leave the bike set on it so you can grab your wheels and go anytime.

Huffy Carom 14-Speed Aluminum Gravel Bike

Another gravel bike option is the Carom 14-speed men’s bike from Huffy. Another aluminum frame bike, this gravel bike provides a versatile fit for riders of all sizes. You’ll find it has 14 speeds with a twisting shift system and pull-to disc brakes on the slight-rise handlebar for easy handling. This durable bike is additionally outfitted with tires fit for gravel so you will never have to worry about the type of terrain under the wheels no matter where you go.

Hyper Bicycles Carbon Fiber Mountain Bike

Anyone looking for a different mountain bike option than one with an aluminum frame should check out this bike. Its carbon fiber frame keeps it strong yet very light and is a durable pick for taking on singletrack. The bike has nine speeds and disc brakes and has a front suspension system too. Though you should likely stick to easier, smoother trails with this bike, it’s a good choice for those who are bigger since the bike fits people who are six feet and taller as well as 275 pounds or less.

Vilano Diverse 3.0 Performance Hybrid Road Bike

Walmart

Another great all-purpose bike is the Vilano Diverse 3.0 Performance Hybrid Road Bike. It makes for a great commuter or city bike as well as a comfortable ride for leisurely rides. The bike is outfitted with disc brakes and an upright handlebar so you can ride in a comfortable position. The bike also comes with a bottle mount and platform pedals. So if you prefer toe cages, you might need to buy new pedals for the bike. 

Decathlon Triban Abyss Aluminum Road Bike

Decathlon Triban Abyss
Walmart

The Decathlon Triban Abyss Road Bike is quite similar to the Triban Disc Brake Road Bike. However, it provides some additional versatility and is an easy way to get into cycling at a lower price point. The major difference between the two is that this bike has a fixed gear, so you won’t be able to climb hills as easily as on the Triban Disc Brake Road Bike. But if you do decide to go with the lightweight fixie, you can swap out the tires for hybrid tires so you can ride both on the road and on gravel.

The only downside to this bike is that it comes mostly but not fully assembled. That means you will have to put the finishing touches on yourself, at home.

Why we love the Tribit StormBox Flow for outdoor adventures
First, it's a Bluetooth speaker, and you can't have a decent speaker without good sound. Outperforming many comparable options, the Tribit StormBox Flow sounds incredible, and you don't even have to bother with the Tribit app. It sounds great out of the box. That's thanks to clear treble and pounding bass, which is surprisingly impressive for such a small device. That's made possible by Tribit's proprietary XBoss tuning DSP technology, which helps boost the bass to a 9dB power rating. If you know nothing about specifications, all you need to know is that it's powerful, pulse-pounding and has exceptional audio fidelity.

Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus early Prime Day deal with two solar panels

The Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus is essentially a 2,042-watt-hour portable power station with ultra-fast charging. However, typically, you have to buy the accessories separately when you buy the station. As part of a pretty crazy Prime Day deal, however, you can get the Jackery solar generator and two 200-watt solar panels in a bundle for a ridiculous price. Usually $3,299, the bundle is just $1,899 for a limited time, saving you $1,400. It's a fantastic option for home power backup to keep your necessities on during an outage, but you can also use it for off-grid living, travel if you're on the road, or even around your home -- like to power some electronics in your backyard. The solar panels make it even more versatile as you can charge it virtually anywhere with access to reliable sunlight.

 
Here's why you should buy the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus bundle with solar panels
We know, we know, it's not officially Prime Day yet. That happens later this week, on July 16 and July 17. It usually makes sense to hold off on buying anything until the main event because you never know how good the deals will be. That said, in the past couple of years, most of the deals have remained the same; if not, many good deals were available early and went away. If you're interested in this Jackery bundle -- an incredible deal -- you might want to shop it soon before it's gone instead of waiting.
