I used the Hero Octane DTB1 for 3 months and recently after switching to TREK 3700 sold it to my colleague.
Specifications of Octane DTB1
Price - Rs. 5500/-
Frame - Aluminium
Wheels - 26"
Suspension - Full ( front and back both are simple spring suspensions)
Gears - Shimano 21 speed with grip shifters
The bike is a good value for the money. It is light weight. However, the gears do not shift quick enough. The gear ratios are not good for climbing.

i have decided to bye one of them.can you suggest me which one to bye?i know trek is always better than octane.but in kolkata trek has no showroom and price is also a thinking factor for me..thanks[SMILE]
I have given specifications of Hero Octane DTB1(blue and silver colour combo). DTB2 (red and silver combo) and Hero Octane NV(26T) (silver and black colour combo0 are other models available, however I found the Octane nv design not so good. i do not like the carrier thing sticking out from the back of this bike. DTB2 has really poor quality components. Go for DTB1 it is a good value for money. Costs 5500/- in goa.
