WHICH SIZE OF THIS MEN'S/WOMEN'S HYBRID BIKE DO YOU NEED?
Our men's and women's hybrid bike comes in 4 sizes:
- Size S: 1.50 m to 1.65 m tall.
- Size M: 1.66 m to 1.77 m tall.
- Size L: 1.78 m to 1.90 m tall.
Between sizes?
- If you want better handling and to be more comfortable (a more upright back position), we recommend opting for the smaller size.
- If you'd like a more extended position (more aerodynamic, which means you'll go faster), then choose the bigger size.

MECHANICAL DISC BRAKES: THE ART OF SAFE, CLEAN, PRECISE BRAKING
We've chosen to use disc brakes for more effective braking and so that you have more control over how hard you brake. This means that you can head out on your men's and women's hybrid bike comfortable in the knowledge that you can fully trust its brakes!
OUR HYBRID BIKE GIVES YOU A COMFORTABLE, DYNAMIC POSITION!
Our trekking bikes have been designed to give you a 60° riding position. It's more comfortable, makes handling easier and gives you a more dynamic ride.
In fact, everything about our hybrid bike has been designed with your comfort in mind:

HYBRID TYRES FOR ENJOYING BOTH ROADS AND TRAILS
Our Riverside 500 men's/women's hybrid bike has B'Twin Trekking hybrid tyres that'll take you absolutely anywhere, be it on- or off-road!
We recommend inflating your tyres to at least 2 bar and no more than 4 bar (see details on the tyre's sidewall).
B'Twin Trekking tyre dimensions: 700 x 38 (38-622).
A WORD ABOUT TYRE COMPATIBILITY
This bike can also be fitted with wider tyres:
- maximum dimensions with the Riverside mudguard: 42 mm (ETRTO 42-622),
- maximum dimensions without mudguards: 47 mm (ETRTO 47-622).
We have also tested wider tyres that are compatible with our hybrid bike, such as the City 9 (44-622) with a mudguard and the Schwalbe Evolution TLE (50-622) without a mudguard. However, since the width can vary, not all 44 and 50 tyres are compatible.
