        Hey

        The Giant SCR 2 and Speedster 40 are both great options.

        Currently every manufacturer has limited stock in India. So you would first need to check what is available in your local bike stores.

          Scott Speedster better fit and finish
          Giant is not VFM

          Java bikes are good but heavy

          Ashley
          Giant. Because it is the best option which is available
          Java is too aggressive

          Raunak Thiroti
          Scott Speedster
          Scott light frame components and it’s also that Scott is very durable

          Better service in India. My rule is to buy bikes from stores who owners ride bikes themselves

          Annyunn
          Giant SCR2
          The build quality. And the service provided by the company. Java bikes are good yes but they are very heavy. Personal experience 😢

          Feel_onwheels
          Java Veloce
          In my view
          Cheap and best to buy and maintenance
          Even if u do any mistakes in maintaining or riding style
          Can learn everything with low cost…

          Java Siluro 2

          Java Veloce 2. VFM. Great frame, good components. I ride one.

          Dhruv_viji
          Scott or Giant
          I had used both Scott and giant they r much more lighter than Java. As my friend is having a Java

          Scott Speetster

          Mr Varun Jain
          Never ever go for java.. Giant would be my first choice followed by Scott

          Yogesh Pilankar
          I owned Java Veloce, it was not comfortable for me. Too much committed posture. Claris groupset is not smooth. But build quality is good. Slightly heavier for a road bike. Ended up selling in 3 months. Now I have Scott Hybrid and I’m so much happy. Also consider Convolution bikes and Scolarian bikes for custom geometry. You can have same geometry as your hybrid:)

          Giant or the Scott. Might be partial to the Scott. I liked its frame when i rode it.

          Go for giant or scott coz they r a good brand and better than java

          Giant scr2. It’s wheels n it’s endurance geometry. Java is not that reliable. If anyone is having 1st road bike then endurance would be preferred unless he/she wants race.

          Java Siluro 2/ Giant. Giant because of its structure and geometry. And S2 for being aero and lightweight. Triban 😍.

          Zeeshan
          Scott. Have heard good reviews. Brand support is awesome. Components wise also it’s really good!

            • Tommaso Imola Endurance Road Bike
            • SAVA HERD T800 Carbon Road Bike
            • Tommaso Monza Endurance Road Bike
              They are the best choices.

              I think Giant scr2 is the option better than others.

                I’ve used a hybrid bike for about 5 years. Almost all on the paved road. The paved road here can be a bit gravelly some times, so the slightly wider tyres are useful. I blew out two tyres in the first month, then none for about 7 years, then two in about a year. I’m assuming that a these kind of pure  road bike would be a bit more fragile in that respect. The bike I have would not be good off road, the wheels are a bit big and the tyres a bit thin. But it is fine for rough road.
