Motobecane Nemesis gear reviews

Love them or hate them, Bikes Direct has a great value entry level tri bike with the 2013 Motobecane Nemesis at only $799 with free shipping. I only have four rides on this thing, 2x of about 17 miles, and 2x at about 44 miles each. My speed is improved over each ride as I dial in the shifting, fine tune the fit, and enjoy the feeling of controlled speed, (38.5mph top speed to date, downhill of course :) )!

I would have no hesitations over buying another one of these great bikes.

Great bike for the price. Dura Ace components on a tri bike for $1000 is hard to beat. I searched and searched for the best deal out there, and I think I found it in this bike.

A good bike overall and I would purchase it again. It is a good first 'real' triathlon bike because it is not just a road bike with clip on aerobars like some bikes marketed as triathlon bikes are. It has a somewhat steeper seat tube angle at 76 degrees to help conserve your hamstrings for the run and bar end shifters so you can stay aero while shifting gears.

A good bike at a great price. A very good entry point into triathlon. For anyone who is on the fence, you won't regret it.

Great bike to get started. Will be fun to tweak and upgrade as experience and needs arise.

Searching for a TRI bike can be a time consuming ordeal some of us may have the means to go to the Local bike Shop and simply say I want the best bike you have for the following goals… Get the bike get fitted and walk it to the truck others of us like myself it is a journey with many questions and a fixed budget to stay within. For me the magic dollar mount was $1200. I visited 3 shops and found $1200 did not buy much so I turned to the Internet and e-bay. Having purchased my Daughter an entry level road bike from Bikesdirect.com that was my first stop and found the Motobecane Nemesis Pro.
After careful research I determined that this bike was the same frame and equipment set up as the Fuji Aloha 1.0 I tried to locate a Aloha to buy but the local bike shop has discontinued carrying the Fuji line. I contacted Fuji and got a lead on a shop about 80 miles away that could get me an Aloha 2.0 for around $1400 I declined. My local shop made a good effort to grab my business with a great offer for a 07 Trek Equinox 7 but the 650 wheels made me shy away so I turned to Sprtymama a e-bay seller my questions were answered very promptly the purchase was made and delivery was in 2 days. The sales price including shipping was $1185. The bike arrived exactly as advertised packaging was great the bike was well protected and parts were sealed in bags ready for assembly. As you can see I am very happy with this bike and I recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality but low price TRI bike and is not afraid of some assembly work. It is not a carbon frame and not as high tech as the top of the line bikes but it is a better bike than I am a rider it fit my budget and it fits me.
