Hybrid Bikes

HYBRID

A hybrid is a halfway house between a mountain bike and a road bike. It has larger wheels than a mountain bike or comfort bike and narrower tyres. This gives it much less rolling resistance and is faster and more agile on the road. If you plan to do longer rides on the road then a hybrid will take a lot less energy to pedal. It’s also an excellent commuting bike should you wish to start riding to work. The gears on a hybrid tend to be slightly higher which gives you faster gears for on road speed. Even though it has narrower tyres it is still ok to use a hybrid off road but you would generally only do gentle off road. You have to consider what sort of riding you plan to do. If you think the majority is going to be on road with a occasional off road trip a fast hybrid is ok; however if a large proportion of your riding is not on the road then go for a comfort hybrid as the suspension fork will allow for a more forgiving ride.

COMFORT HYBRIDS (FRONT SUSPENSION)

This is for the leisure rider who does intend to do some off road .The suspension forks will handle the bumps and add to the general comfort of the bike. Bikes with suspension are generally heavier than those without.

RIGID HYBRIDS (NO SUSPENSION)

These are lighter than ones with suspension and better suited to lengthier road rides and commuting Still capable of going off road but less comfortable.
