Reviews
Below are some critical reviews about RALEIGH Detour 2 Comfort BikeNote for fit I’m 6’1 and 208 lbs and this bike fit just right size xl 21”Received my Raleigh Detour 2 in mint condition ,packed well with no damage from UPS or Amazon. Took me 30 mins to assemble and adjust limit screws /derailleur. Bike was pretty dialed in from factory, just needed to adjust hi/low limit screws on derailleurs and adjust brake levers and pads. The bike is very well constructed with good geometry and attention to detail. The polished aluminum on the handle bar and stem are a nice touch. The comfort seat is just too wide for my taste and heavy too. I replaced it with a Oval seat from a Fuji Nevada I had. Much better... I may swap out the bar and stem with a flat setup like 620 mm for a sportier ride. But overall good bike A- just replace seat if it’s not to your liking that’s only factor from 5 Star. Update rode 9 miles today, so comfortable... slower pace than my hybrid Vilano Diverse 3.0. Note though this bike is built for comfort and style and it delivers!
Ive only had my bike for a few weeks and am not an experienced cyclist. That said, Raleigh was recommended to me by a reputable bike shop that had little stock at the time in my size. I paid $75 to have it professionally assembled. If you plan to pay for assembly, consider that when comparing buying on Amazon vs. your local bike shop. The price difference may not be as significant as you think. All this said, there were no problems with delivery. I enjoy the bike. It seems to ride well. I”m almost 70. As a comfort hybrid, the bike is comfortable and seems to ride very well. I ride 10 miles a day at about 10 mph for exercise. I do not find the bike to be clunky or heavy. Rather it feels light and again rides very well. It may be a comfort bike, but I would not hesitate to ride it om a long distance bike hike.
Great bike, easy to put together, great ride, comfortable seating position. Just did a 26 mile trip along the ocean in RI right after putting it together, couldn't be happier, this bike is great. First time in a log time my arms did not fall asleep from the straight handle bars, these are slightly racked back, it makes a huge difference.
