How to choose the right hybrid/city bike?
Hybrid bikes, also known as fitness bikes, are extremely versatile – suitable for practically any type of terrain. Unlike mountain or road bikes, hybrid models are not designed for a specific terrain or to overcome specific obstacles. This makes them ideal for city streets, suburban roads, and easier off-road trails.
Advantages of hybrid bicycles
- Versatility: one bike – many possibilities.
- Comfortable riding on various surfaces.
- An excellent choice for those who want to ride both in the city and in nature.
- The most important thing is to choose a model that suits your individual needs and plans.
Hybrid bike frame: aluminum or carbon fiber?
Most hybrid bike frames are made from aluminum or carbon fiber.
- Aluminum is strong, lightweight, and durable.
- Carbon fiber is an advanced material that provides stiffness in certain areas and softness and cushioning where it is most needed. This makes for a more comfortable ride, especially on longer trips.
