Ridgeback says
Adaptable and stylish with the durability needed for every day use. A short test ride of one of these benchmark commuter hybrids will confirm why so many people choose a bike from this popular category. Built using size specific tubing, the Rapide s sleek aluminium frame provides a responsive yet resilient ride. Mudguard and rack fittings are standard and many models are fitted with puncture resistant tyres. With wide ratio gearing, comfortable grips and an ergonomic saddle, a Ridgeback Rapide is commute ready and offers the perfect combination of speed, comfort and practicality.
