Hybrid Bikes

A good hybrid bike is lightweight, stiff and has many gears. Also, the position should be adjustable, as this allows you to choose whether you want to use the bike as a sports bike or more as a city bike. A suspension fork can help to increase comfort on bad roads or dirt tracks. If you're planning to hit the dirt tracks often, it is better to opt for a cross-hybrid bike. These are even more suitable for sandy roads.

We have hybrid bikes for men and women. Although they are marketed as specific women's or men's hybrid bikes, one of the main differences is that the women's frame has a lower entry than the men's frame. Historically, women wore skirts and therefore a low entry frame was more convenient for them. However, a low-entry "women's" bike can be convenient for anyone. In addition, the bikes marketed towards women typically have more small frame size options. So regardless of your gender, you can definitely find the right hybrid bike for you at Mantel.

Most hybrid bikes are equipped with derailleur gears. This makes for very light pedalling and provides more gears. All you need to do is lubricate the chain regularly and you are good to go. Do you want even less maintenance? Then you should go for a hybrid bike with a belt drive. The belt and gears are virtually maintenance free. Just keeping your hybrid bike clean is often enough to ensure it has a long life.

For many, a cycling holiday is an absolute dream. Packing and riding your hybrid bike and riding to your dream destination, enjoying freedom and adventure. If this is something you want to do, it is important to have a low-maintenance, lightweight bike with a wide gear range for tough terrain. A special type of hybrid bicycle was created for just this purpose: the trekking bike. These bikes generally have a somewhat sturdier frame and come with the option of mounting lowriders, so that you can carry more bags.

Of course, there are also electric hybrid bikes. Do you ride your bike to work every day? Or do you often go on cycling holidays to mountainous areas? If so, you could probably use some extra pedalling support. An electric hybrid bike may be just the thing for you! Electric hybrid bikes have a more lightweight frame, a more sporty seating position and a larger gear range.
