What's a Hybrid Bicycle Anyway?If you're reading this you probably have a fairly good understanding of what you're after, so I'll keep this section brief. In case there is any confusion, a hybrid bicycle is a multi purpose bike that offers a nice middle ground between a full on road bicycle and a mountain bike.
They usually have moderately treaded tires,chaussure nike tn pas cher, an upright riding position with standard riser handlebars. Some of them will come equipped with suspension parts, in particular front spring or air shocks. They will usually have a generous gearing range with between 8 and 24 speeds.
They're not meant for high speed or for off roading,lisseur ghd france, but they offer what neither road or mountain models can: versatility. You can ride comfortably on pavement, run across grass or sand,michael kors factory outlet, head down a trail or two, it's up to you.
Some of the hybrid bikes for less than $500 that I'll review will lean towards either road or trails,outlet woolrich online, and I'll mention that in the reviews proper.
XDS Cross 200: A good, affordable hybrid bicycle below $500The XDS Cross 200 has exactly what I like to see in a good hybrid: a nice frame, good gearing range, and versatility.
With lots of clearance,woolrich sito ufficiale, mixed use tires and a neutral, upright seating position, you can ride this just about anywhere. It's a good mixture between road and light trail use,air max pas cher, and a perfect commuter.
Let's dig into the specifics: the Cross 200 has an aluminum alloy frame and double walled alloy wheels, making it pretty lightweight. It features a front suspension fork which makes the frame and wheel combination more forgiving over bumps.
The shifters are Shimano Tourney, and they're matched up to 21 speed rapid fire shifters on the handlebars. That way you can cycle through gears quite quickly.
The brakes are the standard linear pulls you'd expect to find at this price,hogan outlet online, and they're quite effective when tuned up properly.
On the whole, the bike feels solid and planted, with an excellent turn radius and a confident stance. While it likely can't handle much more than a beach path, it's great on pavement and the tires have a slight bit of bite to them, so you could easily bring it to the beach on a sunny afternoon. I also think it looks fantastic!
The XDS Cross 200 is a good hybrid bike option, and at well under $500 it's a steal. (And yes, there is a female version of this bike too!)
Diamondback Insight 1: A Performance Hybrid Bike Below $500The Diamondback Insight series is one of my favorites on the market today, and the Insight 1 combines a lot of really nice features into a very affordable package, well below our target price tag.
Probably the first thing you'll notice about this bike is the frame,hogan outlet milano 11-58-203516, and rightly so. It's a 6061 butted aluminum alloy frame that is both utilitarian and beautiful at the same time. The oversized tubing ensures it is very strong and durable.
The rims are Equation double walled aluminum alloy rims, and they spin nicely. The derailleurs are Shimano Altus brand, and there are 21 speeds in total to choose from,woolrich outlet online, all switchable with satisfyingly precise EF shifters.
The bike stops using standard linear pull brakes with metal arms,moncler piumini. You'll probably be surprised at how well the brakes stop you; they are very precise.
The tires have a moderate tread and they're very suitable for either street or trails use. Clearance is excellent and it's generally a very fun and exciting bike to ride. If you want a slight upgrade, consider the Insight 2, which has more speeds and a slicker drivetrain.
Vilano Performance Hybrid Bike: Inexpensive at Under $500Vilano is a favorite of mine because they offer a lot of bike for a low price. They're better known for their line of fixed gear bicycles, but they are venturing into both the hybrid and the road bike arena and they are doing really well for themselves.
What I particularly like about their Performance Hybrid is the fact that even though they're a smaller company, they don't skimp on components, and just about everything they use is high quality and brand name. For example,nike blazer soldes, the drivetrain is almost entirely Shimano. The EF 65 shifters are rapid fire and really quick to zip through. The TX derailleurs are admittedly nothing fancy,scarpe hogan outlet, but they do the job well enough.
This bicycle is built more for pavement than trails,ghd hair straightener, but it'd do fine on either one.
The frame is gorgeous and light, a 6061 aluminum alloy coupled with a high ten front fork, so it's pretty light. There are other nice quality touches like the sealed bottom bracket and hubs and the Kenda tires. The bike also looks fantastic, with a few paint options and very little badging. It's a cheap hybrid bike for well under $500 that I'd recommend to just about any rider.
Schwinn Network: Hybrid Bikes Below $500 For Men WomenI really like the Schwinn Network series, and many other Schwinns as well. They are definitely in the lower budget category of bikes,air jordan femme, but I think they've done extremely well and consistently have a much higher standard than other 'department store' bicycles.
The Network series of bikes is an attractive,air max 90 pas cher, affordable option that will appeal to anyone seeking a no nonsense machine that emphasizes comfort and utility over all else. There are 21 speeds on these bikes. Those 21 speeds are likely all you'll ever need and cover a wide range of conditions, with the added bonus of simplifying the shifting process due to the easy trigger shifters.
The frame is aluminum which helps to lighten the entire weight, keeping it quite reasonable. The rear derailleur is Shimano and it's shifted with an EZ Fire trigger shifter. There is a front suspension fork that will minimize bumps and vibration,michael kors handbags, and there's a seatpost shock as well. The riding position is upright and comfortable.
You'll love the adjustable handlebar positioning and responsive steering. Linear pull brakes stop nicely. The only real downside is that this bike comes in one size only, 18" for men and 16" for women. Those frames should fit women from 5'5 to 5'10 and men from 5'8 to 6' tall. If you're unsure about sizing, leave a comment and I'll give you my two cents!
The Schwinn Network is a fantastic, long lived series of good quality hybrid bikes, well below that $500 price point. |
