What is the difference between this bike and the Vilano Aluminum Road Bike?

The Vilano bike is equipped with quick-release wheels, while this bike (also made by Vilano) requires hex nuts to attach the wheels. Both look like they are equipped with Shimano Tourney, although I think the Vilano Tuono (what you are referring to) has a more updated version of the front and rear derailleur.

this bike came out really bad, the handle is twisted after little use, the pedals wore out very quickly. I think that aluminum is bad, it went very smooth. Best regards

I looked at the pictures of the Vilano bike and I can see where the difference in price is. It looks like you would pay more, and you will get more. I own the "Hybrid Performance Bike", and it is doing what I was wanting it to do.

I'm not sure in the specifics of that bike. But it seemed to be pretty basic. You can use disc or v brakes and it's a Presta tube.

I rode something very similar to Jetson once and it was hands down the best electric bike I have ever ridden. It was lighter, faster in acceleration, and more maneuverable than and other electric bike I have been on before or since. Unfortunately it was a only demo from China, brought in by our company president or I would have bought it. Believe me, I sure tried!

The new one apparently has thicker tubing. However, as the other poster mentioned, I think the old tubing is plenty for a pair of MTBs, road bikes, hybrids, or anything else.

I'm not sure exactly its not something I would know as I purchased this bike for my nice who lives in Florida. I on the other hand live in England. Sorry I couldn't help.

I don't know the difference but must admit that I am happier with this one more than the previous one, it seems lighter and more durable. Sorry can't be more of help

I ordered the forks and they are identical to the Satinique Community that I have owned for 25 years. I cannot tell the difference.

Minor difference in technical specs and / or components. As far as I can tell, the last significant change was around 2010 when they went to a rear disc brake. The 2014 spec shows shimano derailleurs which I think is a fairly recent change as in earlier models they used SRAM derailleurs. Overall, I don't think it's worth losing much sleep over... The Paratrooper is really solid bike in my opinion.

I haven't tried to put anything heavier than an aluminum road bike but I'd assume it can handle it

the difference is $37.55.......... sorry I couldn't resist. seriously I'm not sure. I looked at the product description. the less expensive one weighs 8 ounces and has a shipping weight of 2 pounds. the more expensive one does not provide any product dimensions, but it does state that the shipping weight is 11 pounds. my guess is that the more expensive one is heavier and probably more sturdy and meant to support bigger bikes/heavier loads. I got the less expensive one, and for me it has worked. I use it on a hybrid bike. I put on a bike rack and carrier bags and use the bike to go grocery shopping. the stand I have works well. but it is necessary to balance the carrier bags, with fairly equal weight on each side. if unbalanced the stand will not support the bike, the bike will tip over. but I imagine that even with the heavier stand, you might encounter the same problem if only one side of the bike is loaded with heavy items.

The only difference that I can see is this frame has a name on it. And the frame on the bike I have has no frame. I believe it was made for shimano by the same people. All the equipment seems to be the same.

I think the steel one is a different model than the aluminum. It has a different letter after the name

There are more pieces in the 4221 ie bike. I bought the cheaper set and it's great.
