**The type of riding will you be doing:** My main objective is to ***ride my bike everyday*** that is efficient and fast (not for racing) an can handle little rough roads.
It will mainly be used as a commuter and daily errand, Want a comfortable position like xc. Occasionally go for long ride on off road tracks , village (country ride) not racing, normal concrete road with bumps for commute
**Like to have on bike:-**
* I was thinking for getting 1\*10 or 1\*12 drive train with cassette like shimano deore (climb some steep hills) due to low maintenance
* Frame could be aluminium or alloy
* prefer fast rolling tires and tubeless(could upgrade), good for casual speed when zipping through crowd area in traffic,
* Flat handle bar
* Like to have an option to add fenders and mud guard , a pannier rack or a pannier bag
**My Finding so far:-**
I found this bike called marin dsx 1 [https://www.marinbikes.com/in/bikes/2023-dsx-1](https://www.marinbikes.com/in/bikes/2023-dsx-1)
Also can go with trek dual sport 3 gen 5
**Budget around 1200-1500$**
I hope i can ride my bike while enjoying it , great if i can get 2-3 recommendation for riding needs. Appreciate your help from fellow riders.

I’ve been enjoying my Kona unit x. I use it for everything from hauling kids and groceries to some easy forest paths and winter riding.
It is more of a mountain bike, but goes well with smoother tires.
