What Is A Hybrid Bike? How Is It Different From Other Bikes?

A hybrid bicycle is a combination of a mountain bike and a road bike, providing their rider with a multi-purpose bicycle.

Similar to mountain bicycles, hybrids have a wide gear ratio and upright straight handlebars; however they share the narrow tyres and large wheels of road bikes, which make the bicycle less exhausting for the daily commute.

Who Are Hybrid Bikes For? What Styles Of Cycling Are They Good For?

Hybrid bikes are multi-purpose bicycles and as such they can be used on a wide variety of different types of terrain. If you’re searching for a bicycle for leisure and to commute, the narrow tyres make them better suited to cycling on roads; however the flat handle bars allow them to also tackle smooth dirt roads and tow paths. These factors make a hybrid bicycle a great choice for cyclists searching for a bicycle to cycle to work, and to enjoy a bike ride in their spare time.

With such a wide variety of different bikes to choose from such as 700c hybrids, or 26” hybrids, it can be very difficult to find the hybrid that is best suited to your needs. So if you need a helping hand, don’t worry because our team of expert advisors are on hand to help you with your purchase.
