Two wheels make more sense than four if you want to beat city traffic. That's the inspiration behind the Hyde – our simple, rugged urban all-rounder inspired by our line of 29er mountain bikes. Fast-rolling Schwalbe tyres are well suited to street use, while powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes offer huge reserves of stopping power, whatever the weather. The rigid fork helps keep weight down and the steering reassuringly precise. And slick Shimano 3x9 gears give you the range you need to tackle any route.
Frame description City cycle couriers in the '80s and '90s used mountain bikes for a reason. Drawing inspiration from our 29er hardtails, the Hyde's frame uses double-butted aluminium tubes to create a structure that's strong, durable, light and lively. Neatly integrated luggage carrier and mudguard mounting points make it easy to customise, and there's room for two water bottles for longer rides at the weekend. The sleek rigid fork is the perfect accompaniment, offering crisp, precise steering to match its low weight and understated looks.
Find your size!
Enter your height and inseam below and click on 'Calculate my frame size' to see which size you need. You measure your inseam as follows:
1. Stand barefoot with your heels against the wall. Place your feet about 6 inches apart.
2. Grab a book and place it between your legs, with the short side of the book against the wall. Press the book up against your crotch, mimicking the idea of a bicycle saddle.
3. Measure the length from the top of the book to the floor, the distance you measure is your inseam.
