자전거, 가격대비 최고의 업그레이드 Top5

The top five best bike upgrades for your money are tires, wheels, suspension (or saddle), frame, and drivetrain, in that order. Tires are the most dynamic component of a bicycle, and even a 100g reduction in weight can significantly improve performance compared to a 100g reduction in the drivetrain. Furthermore, tires are the only component in contact with the ground that transmits braking and propulsion, making them the most significant factor in the ride quality of any vehicle. A 200,000 won investment in tires can yield a similar improvement in ride quality as a 2 million won investment in the drivetrain, both in terms of weight reduction and performance. Wheels, like tires, are dynamic components, offering a greater weight saving advantage than other components. They also significantly contribute to aerodynamics on the road, making them a valuable upgrade. Suspension is a crucial component of mountain bikes, maintaining traction on rough terrain and ensuring a stable ride. The saddle is crucial for road bikes, as most riders spend most of their time seated and pedaling. While a properly fitted saddle won't improve your bike's performance, it can dramatically reduce fatigue and, in some cases, even improve pedaling. The frame determines the ride quality of a mountain bike and can even make a difference on the road. However, its high price tag, lack of tangible impact, and its sensitivity to trends often lead to a complete bike swap rather than an upgrade. Unlike the other upgrades mentioned above, the drivetrain, thanks to its standardized design, offers little improvement in ride quality beyond weight reduction, even if you invest 200,000-300,000 won. Even then, the weight reduction is minimal compared to the price. However, its smooth shifting and stylish appearance attract many riders, making it a worthwhile investment if you've already upgraded your tires, wheels, suspension, and saddle. 0:00 Best Value Upgrade 0:46 Drivetrain 2:05 Frame 3:10 Suspension and Saddle 4:30 Wheels 5:16 Tires 6:28 Conclusion
