Whether you intend to ride for fitness, transportation, or fun, a hybrid is the go-to bike for many people. But what exactly is a hybrid bike, and what sort of riding is it best suited to? Read on for the full lowdown.
Not every rider wants to be locked into the aggressive position of drop bars. Some prefer the confidence and control of a flat-bar setup, without sacrificing the performance and versatility of a high-quality frame.
Flat bar gravel bikes are built for control on mixed terrain. They use stable, confidence-inspiring geometry, wide tyre clearance and powerful disc brakes to handle rough lanes, towpaths and light trails as well as tarmac. Many of ours are based on the same frames as our CGR multi-surface range, so you get real off-road capability with everyday speed. Traditional hybrids tend to prioritise urban comfort over off-road performance, with less focus on handling and tyre clearance for gravel use.
Yes. Flat bar bikes in our SPORTFIT range share efficient frames and wheelsets with their drop bar counterparts, so on the road they feel quick and responsive. Fit faster road tyres for weekday pace and keep the upright position for extra confidence in traffic and on busy paths. It is a simple way to get road speed with more direct steering and easier low-speed control.
Many of our flat bar builds offer clearance up to 50 mm on selected models, which boosts comfort and grip on rougher surfaces. Exact limits vary by model and whether you use mudguards, so check the bike’s specification page before you choose. For versatile everyday riding, lots of riders pick 40 to 45 mm as a sweet spot between rolling speed, grip and comfort.
Yes. Our multi-surface platforms include mounts for full-length mudguards and a rear rack, so year-round commuting and light touring are straightforward. The CGR platform that underpins many SPORTFIT flat bar bikes is designed with these mounts from the start, keeping the setup neat, secure and reliable.
For most riders, yes. A single chainring with a wide-range cassette keeps shifting simple and dependable on city streets, back roads and gravel tracks. Our SPORTFIT flat bar bikes include 1x builds with SRAM Apex XPLR options for an easy-to-use setup that still gives you the range you need for climbs, descents and everything in between.
