Everything you need to know about the hybrid bike

The hybrid bicycle is a sporty touring bicycle, which is ideal for long journeys. You can see the hybrid bicycle as a combination of a city bicycle, racing bicycle and mountain bike. Thanks to the derailleur gear, you pedal lightly and easily cover more kilometers. You can also find the hybrid bicycle in an electric version.

Typical is the sporty sitting position and the straight steering wheel. Do you have to apply power because you are going up a slope or because you have a headwind? This is easy with the hybrid bicycle. Read everything you need to know about the hybrid bicycle in this blog.
