What is the difference between this bike and this one: http://www.amazon.com/Performance-Hyb...

This Vilano has linear pull brakes, or V-brakes, (used on hybrids and mtn bikes) which are much better than the Performance Commuter's caliper brakes(used on road bikes). The Vilano may use caliper brakes but the Performance Commuter cannot use linear pull brakes (due to lack of mounts). But you can get the expensive dual-pivot caliper brakes that can match the performance of linear pull brakes.

In my experience they have about the same range. They both use thesame motor and battery. The only difference is that the SS motor is factory set to run up to 28 mph.If you were to put both bikes on a flat surface and run them at maxyou would go a few miles further with the SS. But rarely do you runat full throttle all the time when riding normally.Kind RegardsJack

Sorry, I do not know the difference. If you do a chat with a tech on Amazon or call them they will tell you. They are very helpful.

I just bought mine before Christmas. So, I have just a few days to ride it. But, I do like what I have seen so far. This being my second year to compete in triathlon, I think this is going to be a good bike for me for this year. Compared to my first triathlon bike, it's a lot lighter in weight and handles well! I hope this helps your decision.

in between mountain bike and regular tires. The bike is a pos though. I already returned it and went to a real bike store. Save yourself some aggravation, go to a real bike shop.

This Performance brand uses caliper brakes (used on road bikes), while the Vilano Hybrid uses the much better, linear pull brakes (used on hybrids and mountain bikes). This Performance bike wont allow for a linear brake upgrade. But you can get the expensive dual-pivot caliper brakes that can match the performance of linear pull brakes.

The obvious differences are the the design, engineering & materials also, I'm guessing, that the size of bottles it can hold too is different too. I was not aware of the original Topeak Cage model, but looks nice and has good reviews, so if your happy with that and adding an extra to your bike, I would stick with matching what you have. That said, I'm happy with look and functionality of the Cage 2.

G'day Dan. I have no idea what type of bike that is, but if I was you I would just go to the SRAM/RockShox website for advice on the bikes and types of riding that this fork would suit. Regards, Paul. PS: I haven't even got the darn forks fitted to my own bike yet, so don't have a clue about performance - apart from what I've read.

Hi,This cycle won't stack up against the pro bike you're used to 100%. For the price, it's just not possible. BUT, with that being said, I personally haven't found a pro bike that it doesn't stack up to based on price and quality. I've had mine for a while now. Not only was set up easy (roughly 45 mins as the previous user stated) but it has been working exceptionally well since I bought it. You are most likely used to a bit more in terms of bells and whistles, but this bike cuts that out (lowering cost) while maintaining amazing quality. I would sincerely recommend this bike to anyone; it has been that great of an experience having one. Hope this helps! Hi,This cycle won't stack up against the pro bike you're used to 100%.

What is the brand/model of the stationary bike? If I see the (stationary) bike in question, I may be in a better position to advise. Cheers, OCTrojan

i just received my order yesterday but have not opened the box because the model pictured on amazon is not the exact model they are shipping out. look at the handle bars, the seat, and the breaking mechanism. these are all different. seems like they are shipping out an older version of the same model. I contacted customer service and told them to change the picture yesterday but no change yet. they did reply quickly and told me i could return it as they do not have the model pictured. my first real bad experience with amazon, not cool.

You place your bike on it and ride indoors in place of riding outside.The difference is the bike is stationary.

Louis, Thanks for reaching out to us. The only difference is the one with the black line has 'updated graphics'. Other than that the pumps are the same. If you have any other questions let us know. Thanks again. Sincerely, Mike Eary Cambria Bicycle Outfitter

I don't know how the bike compares to other bikes, but I do know it is a great bike and I was surprised how great it looked in person.I purchased it for my granddaughter last Christmas and she absolutely loved it, so did her mother who wanted it for herself.

Brian, I have no idea if there is any difference, as I have only experience with the "other" model. I just really like the one I bought from Amazon.

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!
