Hybrid bicycles - what are they?
A hybrid bicycle is a lighter version of a mountain bicycle. Hybrid bicycles usually come with 28-inch wheels, medium width or wide tires with medium tread depth. These wheels drive on a hard surface better, but they will not disappoint you on forest paths as well. The frame is lighter and larger compared to a mountain bicycle frame. Most hybrid bicycles have a suspension front fork with a motion length of 50-60mm. Hybrids are increasingly equipped with disc brakes. The frame of the hybrid bicycle has dedicated mounting points, so additional travel equipment and accessories can be added without any problems. With the correct equipment, hybrid bicycles (or Cross bicycles in other words) can become more suited for touring or easy off-road exploration. A wide range of gears allows you to reach higher speed on a smooth road and show power off-road or when pedalling uphill. The main advantage of hybrid bicycles is their versatility: with the reduction of certain characteristics typical of mountain bicycles, the hybrid has a better ride quality on hard-surface roads. Perhaps this is the best choice for those who like to travel everywhere except off-road and on very bad roads.
This bicycle is perfect for those who want to go for a ride, exercise easily, and use the bicycle as a means of transportation. Of course, hybrid bicycles are perfect for going on touring trips as well by adding various accessories to the bicycle, such as lighting kit, holders, bags, etc.
