Ridgeback Speed Hybrid Bike – Lightweight, 21-Speed, 700c, Large Frame for Commuting

The Ridgeback Speed Hybrid Bike is engineered to give commuters and leisure riders the best of both worlds — the swift efficiency of a road bike and the versatile comfort of a hybrid. Designed with a premium aluminium frame, it strikes the perfect balance between lightweight agility and long-lasting durability. This frame not only improves handling but also ensures resilience for everyday use, whether navigating city traffic or cruising through park trails.Powering the ride is a Shimano 21-speed drivetrain, featuring EZ-Fire shifters for seamless gear changes across any terrain. The Shimano Tourney derailleurs and triple chainset allow for controlled acceleration on flat roads and confident climbs on steeper paths.The 700c wheels paired with Vee Tire Zilent 700x42c tyres deliver smooth rolling and dependable grip, making them suitable for mixed-surface commuting. Stability is further enhanced by the hi-ten chromoly fork, which also includes mounts for mudguards to keep you dry in wet weather.Comfort has been carefully considered. The Ridgeback custom saddle with high-density padding supports long-distance rides, while dual-density ergonomic grips minimise strain on your hands. The geometry of the bike promotes a relaxed but efficient riding posture, reducing stress on the back and shoulders during extended commutes.For safety, the Promax TX-117 V-brakes provide consistent, reliable stopping power in varied conditions. Alloy handlebars and a 7° stem offer responsive steering, and the external cable routing ensures low-maintenance performance. Practical touches like mounts for rear racks mean you can carry panniers, groceries, or work essentials with ease.Weighing just 18.5 kg, the Ridgeback Speed is light enough for carrying up steps yet robust for daily mileage. Whether parked at the office, loaded with cargo, or sprinting home after work, this hybrid bike offers unmatched value for riders seeking both speed and everyday practicality.Bike & RidePremier Pre-Assembled Bike Delivery Service to anywhere in the UKFinance OptionsWith the Option to spread the cost over a term - subject to approval and limits Cycle SchemeOption to purchase it under the Cycle to Work Scheme via your Company Two Free Bike ServicingGet your Bike serviced twice within the first year, Completely Free!
