Schwinn Tourist Hybrid Specs

As dedicated cyclist Richard A. Lovett explains, a hybrid bike is a cross between a road bike and a mountain bike, designed to be light enough for road riding while being rugged enough for some aspects of mountain biking. In keeping with the design philosophy, the Men's Schwinn 700C Trail Way Hybrid Bike has a light aluminum frame with an RST Omni 790 front suspension fork and 1.95-inch-wide tires for better grip.

  1. Derailleur and Brakes
