2023 Bike Guide Higher End Bikes

Continuing on our 2023 Bike Guides, here is a depiction of what I would consider “higher end” priced bikes (over $2500). These are all bikes we can order for you and have ready to roll in a week (and sometimes less!), depending on availability. Bikes are listed in price order. Pricing shown is MSRP, please add sales tax (8.875) and 1/3 shipping (generally around $35).

See the rest of our 2023 Bike Guides below:

  • Part 1 “Bikes Within Reach (under $1500)
  • Part 2 “Mid-Range Bikes” ($1500-$2500)
  • Part 3 “Higher End Bikes” (over $2500)
  • Part 4 “ Cargo Bikes and E-Bikes”
  • Part 5 “Mountain Bikes”

I know there are many cheaper options available online. however, buying through a bike shop has many advantages including bike quality, brand integrity, cost of ownership (repairs, warranty, etc), and the safety of having the bike professionally assembled. With bikes, almost more than anything else, you get what you pay for.

Email, call (347 457 5760) or just stop by to check availability, timeframe or to place an order.

Bombtrack Hook, EXT, EXT C, $2599-$3699

HOOK Which to choose: speed or storage space? You can have both with a Hook. With an able steel frame and carbon fork, this bike is fast and versatile. Size-matched 650B or 700C wheels across the sizes provide control and comfort, while the Shimano GRX groupset and double crankset give you a close ratio with a broad range of gears.

HOOK EXT Are you heading down the path least traveled? For a drop handlebar bike, the Hook EXT seldom faces terrain it cannot handle. A Columbus steel frame, a dedicated carbon fork and a sturdy 27.5’’ wheelset equip the EXT with an armory to ride where other bikes would surely suffer. A Sram 1x11 Rival groupset suitably gives this machine the gears and brakes to match.

The Hook EXT C comes complete with a carbon frame and V2 carbon fork with triple cage mounts for speedier off-road raids. Sram provides the bike’s 10 – 42T XD cassette for a great range of gears, so you can keep the pace high over whichever surface you decide to tear across. Our friends at Hunt handle the hoops, providing the bike with a tubeless-ready Adventure Sport 27.5’’ wheelset
