Anyone know a good Hercules MTB range bike with Shock Absorbers for both tires and seat, plus minimum 5 gears ? I am thinking of an upgrade.

Five Gears is more than enough for most people.
And As for spending 7k on a Bike, its not at all needed.

I recommend going for a Standard MTB(the one which looks most like a normal cycle) with Gears attached. Some come with factory attached gears, so look out for them. They should cost you 3k maximum.

The only other mod I recommend in a cycle is a bump guard for the seat and the wheels, so that you don't get hurt much during bumpy rides.

are you kidding . no offence but what do you mean by a standard mtb . what you get for 3k maximum is just a bicycle used for commuting dont ver call it a mountain bike . and i lol'd at 7k being expensive for a bicycle , that was the cheapest low level mtb i could get . and the gears on the 3k bike's are there just for the show . some international bike brands cost more then three four lakhs .

What I mean is that a mountain bike isn't useful for most of us and a standard bike will do.

yea thats quite true . but buying a decent bike does have its advantages like light weight , gears help you ride better and the tyres will be good . good cycles like those from trek make riding better , be it mountain biking or commuting . the case with the sub 3k bikes is that you will pedalling a lump dead weight . better cycles give better riding experiences .

Abhinandh, anything cheaper? Dude, 21k is too much.

I know it is.
But I DO remember seeing an MTB range bike at 2.5k.
It was a standard design, nothing flashy, and I think its one of those models which sell mainly to those who are 5' 9" plus.

Needn't be true.
I have a Hercules Storm and it rocks.
Besides, if you don't sweat, how will you keep healthy ?

And I forgot to mention, I need sub 3k or sub 5k bikes.
With Shock Absorbers for tyres and seat.
Atleast 5 gears.
Needn't be flashy, but shouldn't be sissy or ugly either.
Should be able to carry 100KG minimum.

has anyone noticed that bicycles have become very costly these days ? What were once 3.5k are now 7k, etc.

I guess Bicycle manufacturers have noticed this surge in demand for bikes due to petrol cost hike and now they are trying to mint maximum money out of us.
