Don't be fooled by its understated looks. Under its unassuming exterior the Hyde Pro is a true urban lifestyle bike for riders who value both form and function. Simple, elegant and functional, its true strength lies in its adaptability “ because this is a bike that's capable of taking on pretty much anything. The tried and tested 8 speed hub gear with belt drive perfectly fulifils the demands of an urban all-rounder, serving up all the gears you need while demanding practically nothing in the way of maintenance. Hydraulic Shimano disc brakes provide powerful, easy to control stopping in any weather conditions, while the sleek rigid fork contributes to the Hyde Pro's low overall weight and gives it a nippy, nimble feel that's perfect for navigating the urban jungle.The Hyde Pro's light but stiff aluminium frame “ built from a double butted tubeset to save weight where it's not needed without sacrifcing strength “ is based on our 29er hardtail mountain bike model. That's good news, because it's designed to be tough, comfortable and supremely versatile. Extra neat mudguard and luggage carrier mounts make it easier to attach the accessories you need without spoiling the sleek lines of the frame. We've even tidied up the cable routing, running them inside the frame tubes to reduce maintenance and clutter.
