About This Bike
Simply put, the Raleigh Pioneer is our all-rounder hybrid bike. For those in the European or UK market who are looking for a durable bike for daily commute, shopping or a little bit of a ride on holidays without spending a lot of money, this is a perfect deal. It is not a heavy Dutch bike like iron, its body is made of light aluminum. As a result, it is easy to ride the bike, and if necessary, it is not a difficult task to lift it up the stairs. In short, this is one of the best all-rounder daily drivers among the common ones!
The best combination of safety and design
Despite being a budget bike, Raleigh has not skimped on the metallic paint and design. Its excellent high-gloss color finish will catch everyone's attention on the road. The biggest advantage is that the stem of its handlebar can be adjusted to the angle of your convenience by hand. Due to which you can sit comfortably without bending your back on the road in a jam. For safety, its wheels have wide tires with built-in puncture protection, so there is no tension of tire leakage even if there is glass or stones on the road. Since there is a reflective stripe or border around the tire that reflects light, other cars will be able to see you clearly from a distance even in the dark of night.

Why This model is the best for you
If you have a low budget but want everything ready-made with the bicycle, then this is the best for you. Because after buying this bicycle from the shop, you don't have to buy mudguards, rear carriers or kickstands separately—everything is fitted together. A 25 kg market bag or office bag can be easily tied to the rear carrier. Moreover, its seatpost and famous 'Selle Royale' gel saddle (seat) are so soft that the small bumps of the road or the impact of the speed breaker do not hit your waist. As a zero-para daily commuter at a low cost, there can be no better value for money than this!
Brakes and gear control
The Pioneer has been given a 21-speed (3x7) Shimano Tourney gear. The Shimano EZ-Fire lever on the handle allows for buttery gear changes with just a touch of your thumb. This makes it easy to climb any steep flyover or uphill road without putting any pressure on your feet. For braking, it has the traditional Shimano V-Brakes. These lightweight mechanical brakes are easy to maintain and the wheel comes into on-spot control with just a little pressure. Since there is a plastic half-cover on the chain, there is no chance of the black oil and ink of the chain getting on your clothes while riding!
