Les meilleurs vélos hybrides équipés pour affronter les routes et les sentiers

Matériau du cadre : Aluminium | Type de frein: V-Brake | Wheel size: 700c

Avantages :

• Requires minimal maintenance
• Upright position improves comfort and control
• Rack and fender mounting points
• Solid ride quality

Inconvénients :

• Budget-minded components
• Lackluster drivetrain

The Sirrus 1.0 from Specialized is great for budget-minded buyers looking to blend cost with reliability. This is a road-ready hybrid with mounts for mudguards and panniers, so it’s also great for commuting and even some light bike touring. The A1 Alloy aluminum frame keeps the bike relatively light at this price point, while the upright position provides comfort and control for frequent use.

While the V-brakes aren’t anything special, they provide plenty of stopping power and Specialized cleans up the bike’s appearance with internal cable routing for a streamlined look. The quick-release tire tech makes it easier (and faster) to fix a flat, or to mount your bike on your car’s bike rack. Complete with six sizing options and three colors, the Sirrus 1.0 is a great value if you’re looking to pick up your first bike or invest in a versatile secondary ride.

While the Sirrus 1.0 might not be the cheapest hybrid bike on the market, it’s fairly affordable and guarantees you’ll have access to the vast network of Specialized shops across the country. And if you need more bike than the Sirrus 1.0 offers, consider the assortment of Sirrus models (there are 23 in total) to find the one that fits the bill.

Matériau du cadre : Carbone | Type de frein: Hydraulic disc | Wheel size: 700c

• Flat handlebar promotes a relaxed riding stance
• Shimano hydraulic discs work really well

Inconvénients :

• Cher

Hybrid bikes are sometimes referred to as “fitness bikes” because they’re fast, user-friendly and can help you get in shape while offering a more comfortable and versatile ride than proper road bikes. That’s essentially what Trek was going for when they put together the FX Sport 4.

Billed as a hybrid “fitness” bike that’s suited for riders who seek versatility, the FX Sport 4 is light, fast and serious thanks to a carbon frame (which uses Trek’s patented carbon fiber process, OCLV), Bontrager wheels and a Shimano drivetrain. Instead of the road-ready drop bars typically found on road bikes, it sports a flat handlebar for a more comfortable ride in the upright position.

The $1,800 price tag can be hard to swallow, so we recommend the FX Sport 4 to those who require a single, capable bike that can do it all.

Matériau du cadre : Aluminium | Type de frein: Hydraulic disc | Wheel size: 700c

Avantages :

• Hydraulic disc breaks
• Front suspension with 63mm of travel
• Integrated wheel sensor and phone stem mount

Inconvénients :

• Entry-level SX Eagle drivetrain
• Couleurs limitées

With a front suspension, internal cable routing, mounting points and hydraulic disc breaks, Cannondale’s Quick CX 1 hybrid bike performs dutifully on a variety of surfaces, and it doesn’t leave a hole in your pocket.

The SX Eagle drivetrain isn’t anything special, but the 63mm of travel up front will help you traverse roots and rocks, and the 700c wheels add confidence. An integrated wheel sensor tracks key metrics like speed, distance and calories burned, and a dedicated stem mount for your phone keeps directions, music and other media within reach.

You can also satisfy your tame side if you’d like to use the Quick CX 1 around town. Fender brackets keep foul weather at bay while rack mounts support larger loads like backpacks and grocery bags. The Fitness Ergo Double Density saddle is comfortable, and the 12-speed drivetrain offers plenty of gearing for the commute. All in all, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more capable hybrid bike for the money, especially when it’s on sale.

Avantages :

Priority’s dedicated to making bikes with carbon belt drives that are easy to clean and maintain all year round. The Continuum Onyx pairs the brand’s signature Gates Carbon Drive belt and internally-geared hub with rust-proof and rust-fighting components. Even if you’re not biking through rain or snow, the bike is less likely to rust than other options on the market.

Reflective sidewalls and hub-powered front and rear lights provide crucial visibility options for city and backroad riding. The bike’s form-friendly geometry makes for a comfortable ride, while puncture-resistant tires and hydraulic disc brakes offer confidence on unpaved roads and city streets.

The Envolo CVT rear hub removes any gear confusion—simply twist the grip to your desired resistance. At 31 pounds, it’s definitely on the heavy side, but it remains a capable, versatile ride for urbanites who rely on their bike for transportation.

Matériau du cadre : Carbone | Type de frein: Hydraulic disc | Wheel size: 700c

Avantages :

• Léger
• Lifetime warranty on frame and wheels
• Doesn’t look like an e-bike

Santa Cruz set out to make an e-bike that was fast, light, subtle and quiet. Enter the Skitch, the brand’s first e-bike without suspension, making it easy to ride into town for errands or explore without suffering.

The 430 watt hour battery and Fazua motor are integrated into the bike for a sleek look. You can pedal up to 28 mph and the 60 newton meters of torque gets it there pretty quickly, even uphill. With 700c wheels and 45c tires, the bike comfortably zips around on both roads and dirt, as co-author Amy Jurries discovered when riding the Skitch on the bike trails and gravel roads of Boulder and Leadville.

It has three riding modes that you can adjust via a controller on the handlebar. There is a battery level reader integrated into the top tube which flips up to reveal a USB port for keeping your phone charged on the go. After finishing your ride, simply plug the bike in via the integrated port on the downtube to fully charge in 3.5 hours.

And at only 30 pounds, this is an e-bike you can actually carry up the stairs into your apartment. You can also pedal the bike without assistance, unlike other full power e-bikes where you are doomed if the battery dies.

Matériau du cadre : Aluminium | Type de frein: Mechanical disc | Wheel size: 700c

Avantages :

• Step-through design for easy mounting and dismounting
• Disc brakes for better stopping

Inconvénients :

• Heavier components

The Liv Alight 3 Disc is a comfortable and versatile hybrid bike well-suited for casual riding, commuting or fitness. Its aluminum frame is lightweight, and the step-through design makes getting on and off the bike a breeze.  This is especially convenient for riders who may find swinging their leg over a traditional bike frame to be difficult (or not wardrobe-friendly), or for frequent stops during a commute. The step-through design also lowers the center of gravity of the bike, which can improve stability for riders who are new to cycling or feel less confident on two wheels.

A suspension seatpost helps smooth out those potholes, while the disc brakes offer confident stopping power in all weather conditions.  While it may not be the fastest bike on the road, the Liv Alight 3 Disc is a great choice for riders who prioritize comfort, convenience and versatility.

Matériau du cadre : Acier | Type de frein: Caliper | Wheel size: 700c

The State Rigby Core-Line is a single-speed or fixed-gear hybrid bike known for its affordability and stylish design. Built with a durable steel frame, it comes in a variety of colors and features a flip-flop hub, allowing you to switch between fixed-gear and single-speed riding. This makes it a versatile option for urban commuting or laid-back cruising.

Single-speed and fixed-gear bikes offer a number of advantages. Their simplicity translates to lower maintenance costs and less weight, making them easier to maneuver around town. They can also be quite efficient for riders on flat terrain, requiring less gear shifting and a more direct connection to the road. And the stylish steel frame will last a lifetime.
