Similarly to the Cube Touring above, the GT Transeo comes with a triple chainset and seven gears at the back, so there’s ample range to get you up your local hills while also maintaining speed on the flat, for an efficient ride that won’t break the bank. The Shimano Tourney drivetrain and mechanical disc brakes are basic, but at this price point, they provide good value for money. This acts as a kind of suspension below the point where your weight is supported, to help absorb shocks in the road and keep you comfortable for longer. It’s designed for comfort, with nice wide 40mm tyres to cushion bumpy road surfaces, as well as ‘floating’ seat stays, which add flexibility to the rear of the bike below the saddle. This can be especially handy for anyone who has limited mobility, especially in the hips. If you're looking for something simple and comfortable, this entry-level urban bike from the GT Transeo range has a sloping step-through frame to make mounting and dismounting as easy and convenient as possible. The entry-level design may not suit more seasoned cyclists The short-travel Suntour suspension fork allows for extra comfort and features a lockout if you want to make it rigid. From mudguards and a rear rack to a kickstand and dynamo-fed lighting, there's hardly anything you'll need to add.īeing a technical tourer, the Touring EXC comes with the now rather untrendy (but still incredibly practical) triple chainset, offering an enormous range of gears to deal with even the most undulating journeys. The Cube Touring EXC is designed for urban riding and comes readily fitted with all the accessories you could possibly need for a year-round all-weather commuter, shopper and do-everything-er. We recognise that a huge amount of women carry out a lot of unpaid labour, from childcare to running errands, so you don't need to travel the world to get the most out of this workhorse. Technically this belongs on the list of the best touring bikes, but when you're looking at do-it-all hybrids, a tourer is worth considering. The triple chainset, while practical, is deeply untrendy Finally, the 1x8 MicroSHIFT drivetrain shifts reliably and smoothly and, while there are fewer gears than some other options on this list, means it's much simpler to handle and is still a capable climber. Stopping power comes in the form of hydraulic disc brakes, helping you modulate your braking regardless of the weather. The stock 42mm tyres should also help smooth out the ride, and feel super plush on even the worst road surfaces. The cables are routed internally for a neat finish, while mounts for mudguards and racks make it possible to turn the Sirrus into a year-round functional workhorse. The A1 alloy frame is sturdy and forgiving on bumpy roads, and the dropped seat stay design adds some flex and comfort. Its sporty looks tell you all you need to know: this bike is nippy and nimble, making it a great choice for those who like to tear up the streets (or are often running late!). The unisex Sirrus 2.0 is designed to be a practical, but speedy and fun way to get around town on two wheels. Specialized notably moved away from gendered bike models a few years back, and instead introduced a wide array of sizes to cater for as many people as possible. The bike comes stock with 38mm wide puncture-resistant tyres, but the frame can accommodate up to 42mm tyre width, so if you're riding in all weathers (or even taking in some off-road trails), throwing on some thicker rubber will help you maintain traction and boost your confidence. With all the mounts needed to add racks and mudguards, it is suitable to carry luggage and ride year-round in wet conditions. The 2x8 speed Shimano Altus drivetrain with 11/34T cassette and 46/30T chainrings provides a very nice wide range of gears with a very low gear to help you get up the most challenging hills in your area. The Liv Alight DD Disc is the most up-to-date version of its flagship aluminium hybrid bike, ideal for commuting or casual spinning around town. However, if you've got a longer torso and reach, you might find the Liv geometry a little cramped. If you have a shorter reach and slightly longer legs than your upper half, you'll most likely love the way Livs fit. Of course, all bodies are different, so it won't suit everyone's proportions. It blends urban style with road bike agility, thanks to its lightweight design and stable, confident ride quality. Its 3F Design Philosophy draws upon women’s body dimensions data to tailor bikes for the perfect fit, form and function. Liv Cycling makes its bikes for women, by women, and so it is the obvious brand to check out if you’re looking for a women-specific model. Doesn’t come in XL so may not suit taller riders
