Masi Bikes
Usually, most people looking to buy Masi bike are pro bikers. But even those sometimes need some type of guide or tutorial so that they could better choose the right bike.
So, especially for a beginner biker, these three main items should be considered when deciding to buy a road bike:

Gears (Transmission) – depending on the back cassette cogs number, a Masi road bike’s transmission could be from 8-speed to 11-speed.
Wheelset – the best brands such as Mercury and DT-Swiss are used by Masi for its bikes.
