Bicycles today are gaining huge popularity and we are seeing more and more of these on the roads. The brands too are exploiting this opportunity and are offering a wide range of cycles in their portfolio. This often leaves the customers confused while buying a new bicycle. Having said this, if you are also in the market to buy a new bicycle, here are top five must have bicycle features which you should look out for.
1. Disc Brakes
Disc brakes are a lot better than the conventional brakes that we have on the cycles and are known to provide better stopping power in various conditions. If you are someone who does a lot of long-distance riding, disc brakes are an important feature your bike should have.
2. Shock Absorbers
Shock absorbers, as the name suggests, absorb and eliminate all the shocks and thus the rider stays comfortable. In addition to this, the shock absorbers also reduce the bumpiness and make a cycle more stable in some situations.
3. Headlight and Taillight
having lights in the cycle can prove to be extremely useful in situations when the cycle is being used in the dark. Not only will it help the rider to have a better view, but it will also increase the visibility of the cycle to the other road users.

4. Bottle Holder
Medical sciences have confirmed that it is extremely important to keep the body hydrated during the physical workout and having a water bottle handy always helps. A bottle holder can also be added to the bicycle as an optional add-on.
5. Electric Horn
Electric horns are louder and can alert other road users. Having electric horns in your cycle can be extremely helpful and will keep you safe on the road.
