Out top rated commuter hybrid bikes. 10 of the very best for under 500 with tips and buying advice

One of the most popular hybrid bikes in the UK, the Specialized Vita Women’s Hybrid can be seen ridden everywhere the length and breadth of the British Isles.

Reliable, sturdy and good looking, another major selling point is the range of sizes it’s available in; from XS up to XL which covers women from 143cm to 183cm.

This steed is road-ready, with puncture resistant Specialized Nimbus tyres, and wide wheel clearance and bolt holes so you can attach mud guards and pannier racks.

The 24 speed gearing comes courtesy of Shimano, with a triple chain ring set up at the front and 8 speed cassette at the back. This should give you enough range to conquer most hills, and get a good speed up on the flat.

A lightweight aluminium frame is finished with a Specialized Body Geometry women’s fit saddle and contour grips.
