First of all, what is a hybrid bike? A hybrid bike is a mix between a road bike and a mountain bike, which makes it very versatile. Some of them are more \u201croad\u201d and some more \u201cmountain\u201d but, in a nutshell, the main characteristics are that it is a fast and comfortable bike that can also take on some rough terrain.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A hybrid bike is a perfect machine for commuting but in our bike company, we also use it for all our casual bike holidays.<\/a> We equip it with a rear rack that can accommodate panniers and off we go, even across the Alps.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you consider getting a hybrid bike yourself, here’s an overview of the best hybrid bikes for the money. You’ll find affordable hybrid bikes under 500 Euro and a little more. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Decathlon Riverside 900<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Decathlon<\/a><\/p>\n

When it comes to price, it is hard to beat Decathlon \u2013 the French chain that claims to make sports affordable to everyone. Riverside 900<\/a> is one of their hybrid bikes. 700c tyres, hydraulic disc brakes and a front fork with 63 mm of travel are the main characteristics of this 10-speed bike. It is very comfortable and light but, in my opinion, could be better aesthetically.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong> \u20ac450<\/p>\n

Scott Sub Cross 50<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"SCOTT<\/a><\/p>\n

Scott is a legendary historical brand and one of the big players. I find their\u00a0Scott Sub Cross 50<\/a> very beautiful. It is less comfortable than most of the bikes shown in this article because it is designed more towards performance than comfort. It doesn\u2019t come with a front fork, the geometry is more aerodynamic. It mounts Shimano Tourney RD-TX800 with 24 speeds. Tyres are 700x45C. If you want to whizz to work, this is the bike for you.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong> \u20ac500\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Specialized Sirrus 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Specialized<\/a><\/p>\n

Specialized is another major historical brand so if you would like to have an easily recognizable bike, you could consider getting the\u00a0Sirrus 1<\/a>. One special feature of this bike is that it is available in three colours: black, forest green and lilac. The manufacturer claims that the bike features a reliable set of components that are built to withstand years of daily abuse, which I like. Shimano Altus 7speed, v-brakes, rigid front fork and 700x32c are the key features.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong> \u20ac500<\/p>\n

Kellys Carson 10<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Kellys<\/a><\/p>\n

This hybrid bike got on my radar because a very good friend of mine rides it to work every day and he is very satisfied. The Carson 10<\/a> is a perfect commuting bike. It comes with mudguards, lights and a chain guard. Also, it mounts an adjustable stem, which is very thoughtful. Tyres are 700x42C and the front fork has 50-mm travel.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong> \u20ac500<\/p>\n

Crossride 250 Rock Machine<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"CROSSRIDE<\/a><\/p>\n

Rock Machine is a brand from the Czech Republic. They make decent affordable bikes and\u00a0Crossride250<\/a>\u00a0is one of them. I consider it more of a commuting bike than Giant Roam because it comes with v-brakes and 700\u00d735C tyres. It also mounts a front fork with 63-mm travel, which helps to tackle cobblestones and roads in bad condition.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong> \u20ac500<\/p>\n

Giant Roam 4 Disc \"GIANT<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is the bike I use regularly for work. It comes with a Shimano Altus group 3×7 speed, 700x42c tyres and hydraulic disc brakes. It mounts a front fork with 63-mm travel. From these specs, you can already understand that\u00a0Giant Roam4 Disc<\/a>\u00a0is a perfect all-rounder. You can mount a kickstand if you wish and bike racks if you like to go bike touring.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong> \u20ac550<\/p>\n

Focus WHISTLER 3.5 EQP<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Focus<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Whistler 3.5 EQP<\/a>\u00a0is a bit more expensive but one of the reasons for the extra price is because it comes with pre-installed mudguards and lights that, if you will use this bike for commuting, you would need to buy anyway. This bike is more like a mountain bike than a road bike by having 29\u201d and 27,5\u201d wheel options and mounting 2.1 tyres. Shimano Acera and 24 speeds are the gearing specs.<\/p>\n
