Best Hybrid Bikes Under $700 – Buyer’s Guide

Before you decide to buy a hybrids bike for $700 or less ask yourself the following questions:

What is the main purpose of the bike?

Not all hybrid bikes are made equal…some are good on the roads and some are better on the trails.

Give it a thought about what kind of riding is predominant in your day to day riding.

If you have to cross a lot of gravel roads or trail stretch, then go for a hybrid bike with wider tires.

They will provide you with a good grip and will even out the underneath road.

Also, in such cases go for a bike that provides travel fork and have at least a suspension like this one.

Would you need a lot of gears?

You may not give this much of a thought, but if you don’t need too many gears, purchase a bike with a lesser number of gears.

Why?

Cost of the high-geared bike and a low geared bike may not vary significantly, but when it comes to maintenance, high geared bikes can start acting pricey.

Also, initially assembling the bike also may take some additional effort and skill. 

If you have not done previously, then you may have to take a trip to the bike shop a.k.a shell out additional mulla…

Bikes with a low number of gears are easy to assemble and will save you way more money in the future.

Is the suspension necessary for your bike?

The suspension is a great feature to have for a bike.

It makes your ride smoother even on bumpy roads.

However, if your regular route comprises of smooth and level roads, then re-think suspension.

With all the same features, a suspension less bike will cost you less.

Another thing about suspension is you have to deal with the bob when you pedal.

It can also make you slower and you may have to pedal harder.

Opt for puncture-resistant tires

Imagine a situation where there is no one around and your bike gets punctured.

You are stranded and in a fix.

However, your chances of dealing with such a situation are minimal with puncture-resistant tires.

Also, this means you will enjoy more ride time than to deal with punctures.

In fact, these hybrid bikes come with puncture-resistant tires by default.

Decide on the kind of brakes you want

Primarily there are 3 kinds of brakes to choose from in hybrid bikes:

• Disc Brakes
• V-Brakes
• Dual Caliper Brakes

Disc brakes are very effective even on the trails whereas V-brakes and the caliper are more effective on roads.

They are not as effective on the trails. So, decide on what kind of riding will you be doing most.

Based on that, choose your brakes.

FAQs

A: Yes, under $700 bikes are good and will perform well for day to day activities.
