Hey guys, I am based out of Mumbai.

Was considering Trek AL5 Gen4 earlier, but getting no good offers locally (Ambika, dBykStore), all fixated on MRP 152K.

Which road endurance bike would you recommend within 1.5-1.7L budget (and from where)?

Had my eye on these. Any thoughts?:

- Trek AL5 Gen4.

- Merida Scultura Endurance 400 (if I find in stock)

- Giant Contend AR 1.

Current setup: Single bike Trek FX2 Gen3, bought Nov-2025. Usually I ride on WEH, Link Road or Gorai (road + light trails), ~150-200 km per week.

Thanks.

Additionally, what shall I use my Trek FX2 going forward. Does it make sense to replace tyres and make it dedicated gravel bike?
