The Boss Outlaw Dual Suspension 21 Speed Double Disc Brake Men’s Bike is one of the best all terrain bikes in the market today and for the price it costs, definitely great value for money. The build quality of the bike is impeccable with an 18” alloy suspension frame and front suspension forks. The bike is well equipped with disc brakes on both wheels for ultimate control and handling. Suspension is limited to the front wheels alone with two suspension forks that absorb shocks when riding on unfavourable and rugged terrain.
The bike comes with a 21 speed gear system manufactured by Shimano, a pioneer in bike gear systems. The large number of gears provides optimum handling, especially in varying terrains and depending on need for the right amount of resistance for a proper workout. The rider sits at a good height thanks to the 26” wheels but not too high so as to compromise on stability.
This bike is ideal for teenagers and adults alike on all terrains; regular roads to mountainous terrain to dirt tracks. There have been reports of initial trouble with the gears as they aren’t very responsive but this issue is usually resolved with a little use as the gears become smoother with time.

The Hercules DJ Control Steel is a fully fledged and highly effective professional mixing setup whose functionality can be further enhanced by connecting it to a computer. It features two turntables on a custom designed stainless steel base for a truly superlative mixing experience. This mixing equipment is mainly aimed at DJs and professionals but even those who are learning or are passionate about mixing will find it intuitive thanks to the easy and high quality audio interface and user friendly layout. Moreover, the Hercules DJ Control is rather small and portable and hooking it up to a sound system anywhere is quite simple.
This device comes with a free version of Virtual DJ and has 12 effect buttons, a number matching the systems used by most professional DJs. While it is great for small gigs, this device is not recommended for experienced DJs. It lacks in filter and parameter controls as there are not enough control interfaces. Moreover, the free version of Virtual DJ is rather limited in options and the upgrade to the full version is rather expensive. The bottom line is that this machine is well suited for those who are just starting their career in sound mixing or are at an intermediate level; advanced DJ’s will find the lack of extensive controls disappointing.

However, this is a rare occurrence and since monitors are simply supplementary to your work out, is not a deal breaker in any way.
