Attack the bumpy trails and pothole-strewn streets in style with the Lamborghini Toro dual-suspension mountain bike, featuring a bright red, hand-crafted frame that echoes the famed color found on Lamborghini cars. This adult-sized mountain bike has a 19-inch full-suspension aluminum frame and 26-inch chunky MTB wheels, as well as a 24-speed, high-performance Shimano drive. The frame is backed by a lifetime warranty.
The dual suspension system (on both front and back tires) helps keep the wheels in contact with the trail and also smoothes the bumps and provides more control. It features front and rear disc brakes for reliable stopping and more power with less effort. Disc brakes brakes are great for handling virtually any weather condition and steep inclines. They also provide more control and additional mud clearance for off-road adventures.

Finding the Right Bike
To really enjoy cycling, it’s important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you’re in the market for a new bike:
The Right Ride
In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories:
- Road and Racing Bikes–As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels, and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain.
- Mountain Bikes–With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing, and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike–even one that you use regularly on trails–adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine.
- Comfort/Cruiser Bikes–For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family.
The Right Price
A bike’s price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability.
- Entry-level–You’ll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use.
- Mid-range–Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you’re looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the “sweet spot.” Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension.
- High-end–Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultralightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action.
The Right Size
Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips:
- Stand-over Height–To find out if a bike’s overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you’ll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you’ll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height.
- Top Tube Length–You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half, and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike’s posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit.
- Bikes for Women–Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women’s bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance.
The Right Accessories
When you make a bike purchase, don’t forget these crucial add-ons:
- Helmet (this is a must!)
- Seat pack
- Lock
- Hydration pack, or water bottle and bottle cage
- Spare tubes
- Portable bike pump
- Gloves
I’m surprised with two previous reviews?
It sounds like their hands are growing not from the right place.
My bike came on time as it was expected.
And of course it was in the box.
So, I had to set up steering wheel, pedals, and front wheel.
I used for it simple Bicycle Tool (Topeak Alien II 26-Function) and the process was really easy.
Than, logically, I precised breaks and shifts. Softened the spin and bike was ready.
It runs very well. I maid on it 55m/hp and climbed all highest hills in SF.
I truly don’t believe that some parts could be broken. All parts are made by well-known German brands except aluminum Chinese frame, which actually is also good.
So this is a good choice for those how has a taste in style.
Damaged During Shipping. . . – V. Dyer – NH, USA
I bought this bike for my younger brother for his birthday. It came in a timely fashion, yes, but it came broken. My brother had to spend something like 150 dollars to fix several things on it, and that is besides the money he had to spend to have it put together. Needless to say, I was not impressed. However, when I offered to call Amazon and try and get some kind of refund for the damages, my brother said that he loves the bike, and he didn’t want to have to send it back to prove the damage. So, we didn’t do anything about. Therefore, I can’t say they didn’t help us. We didn’t seek their help. I wouldn’t recommend doing that! When you spend this much money on a bike (for me this is a lot of money for a bike!), it leaves a bad taste in your mouth to have to make further adjustments. And besides that, he couldn’t ride it when it was built, since there were pieces that had to be ordered. A total pain in the ass, basically. It sort of ruined the whole birthday present, since he had to pay for his own gift!
Still, my brother absolutely loves the bike. He rides it every day. It looks good, but please, PLEASE, if it comes damaged, try and get someone from the company to pay for the damage. It’s just not right to let that go. Hope everyone has better luck than we did! It is a good bike when everything on it is working. I’m not saying you shouldn’t buy it. Just saying you should do something if your bike has the damage ours did.
Don’t buy this unless you want to replace everything. – Brenda Adam –
I bought this bike, I put it together, and it looked great. Unfortunately, it’s good looks could not mask the fact that it had many problems. It’s front forks were not straight, the brakes barely worked and the freewheel broke on the first ride. The seat broke after landing from a very small drop.The derailer hook snapped while riding down hill sending me over the handle bars.I have put alot of money into this bike and have had to customize it my way, which was not my intention or in my budget. I felt like i was ripped off for almost 0. This bike does turn heads and has SOME really nice elements. I feel this company needs to do an overview on how they put these bikes together because they have lost me as a customer. I will never buy another bike from them, but I do hope they can do something better for others in the future. So to the people who want this bike, please take it to bike shop when you get it to see if you are getting what you paid for. Then at least you can return it if yours is as busted as mine was. Maybe i was just unlucky. I hpoe that these eye catching bikes are not all as much of a disaster as mine was.
