A hybrid, which could also be said to sit between a flat-bar road bike and a dual-sport bike, trades aerodynamics for comfort. It offers speed on the tarmac, but with a riding position better suited to watching the road before you.

Often flat-barred, the hybrid bike is particularly adept for urban commuting. Beefier than a road bike and with a more upright, casual riding position, the hybrid blends that with lighter frames and fast-rolling wheels. Sitting slap bang in the middle of the pedal-powered, two-wheeled spectrum, the hybrid bikes are a halfway house between road and mountain bikes. It features Pinion gearbox for even better shifting.īuyer’s Guide for Hybrid Bikes What are hybrid bikes? If you want to go even more advanced and have money to spend, we suggest to take a look at Priority’s flagship, The 600. Throw in flat bars and hydraulic disc brakes and you are onto a winner. Paired with a carbon belt, for smooth, near-silent shifting, the NuVinci variable hub – offering a similar gearing range to an eight-speed bike, but without the clunky shifting – is a game-changer rarely seen at such an excellent-value entry point. If the front hub is smart, the rear hub is one of the Continuum Onyx’s more popular features. These include integrated front and rear lights, which are not only more secure but so much more convenient as they are powered by the front hub – so no need for batteries or charging either. Smart features make it a popular option in its price bracket – in fact, some of the features are rare even as you increase your budget.
