Low Step-Through Hybrid Bike Riverside 500 - Storm Blue

ACCESSORIES PROVIDED WITH THE RIVERSIDE 500

The Riverside 500 hybrid bike is supplied with versatile pedals with a wide pedalling surface to help keep your foot on the pedal.

Your trekking bike also comes with a bell, lights (front/rear) and wheel reflectors.

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.

Get the most out of your off-road rides with the suspension fork that keeps you comfortable on any terrain.

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).

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!

MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE ALUMINIUM FRAME... AND ITS LIFETIME WARRANTY!

The low frame makes it easy to step over the bike from the front without having to swing your leg over the saddle. The frame is made from 6061 aluminium to keep the bike light and comfortable, and comes with a lifetime warranty.

WHAT ABOUT THE SADDLE?

It's important to have the right kind of saddle for the type of ride you're doing. That's why our team has chosen the Ergofit Trekking 500 saddle for this bike.



Here's what you need to know about this saddle:



- aluminium seat post with markings to help you adjust it accurately,

- 34.8 mm diameter clamp,

- 28.6 mm diameter seat post,

- quick-release clamp for adjusting the saddle without tools.

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.
