A hybrid is a cross between a road bike and a mountain bike. The wheels are large like a road bike's but it's designed to travel on trails, which customary road bikes cannot handle. So the hybrid tyres are not pencil-thin and the handlebar's angle is movable.
The 7100 is a super bike! There are a million things right with this bike. Let's consider them all.
The saddle is very comfortable - no need to elaborate there. The suspension (called Rapid Suspension Technology — RST) is smooth, making for a fine ride and the location of the handlebar in relation to the seat is perfect. My previous bike is a Trek (820) but the seat and handlebar are not placed apart ideally so I spend most of the time feeling that I'm reaching out for the handlebars.
The handlebars on the hybrid are also angled perfectly, unlike my experience with the Trek 820, which gives the wrists a twisted sensation.
The ride from the 820 is still a good ride but now that the 7100 has showed up, it is really quite a contrast. It's also lighter in weight and the root-beer-and-white colour scheme is beautiful.
I'm looking forward to traversing many miles on this bike.
