    Roadlite 7 worth it over Roadlite 6?


    Hey,

    My new bike day is approaching fast since I’m almost ready to order. Now I’m just trying to figure out is the Roadlite7 so much better than Roadlite6 that it’s 20% something more expensive. I’m not too familiar with the specs so asking for help from you guys.

    Is the 20% increased price justified with the components? I don’t see such a drastic difference there but I don’t have much knowledge with the components. Just wanna have a good bike for years to come.

    I just don’t want to buy the pricier one just because “it’s better because it costs more” if I don’t know the justification behind it.

    Happy trails and paved roads to all!

      The essential difference is the groupset; both are mechanical 12 speed, which is good (latest generation), but the 7 saves you 600 grams on the bike. Whether this is worth the price, it’s up to you. Functionally, both bikes are the same.

      Also, different colours…

      EDIT: the other comment pointed out all the differences that contribute to the weight saving (and to some extent, comfort)

      upgrades over the roadlite 6:
      thru axle wheels instead of QR
      better rear hub
      better cockpit
      better seatpost (it has a carbon tube and offers more comfort)
      about 600 grams in weight savings

      Thanks guys for the replies! One thing I’m not certain yet is the cockpit. Since it’s all-in-one integrated piece, I’m wondering what if I don’t like it and would like to change the handle bar to a riser bar to get a little more relaxed cockpit or if it just doesn’t suit me at all? Then I’m kinda stuck with the integrated cockpit unless I want to but stem also. Am I right? Any experience on the integrated cockpit to wash my worries away? 🙂
