Boardman HYB 8.8 Mens Hybrid Bike only 6 months old, used a couple of times locally. The versatile Boardman HYB 8.8 Mens Hybrid Bike gives you the same great style as the HYB8.6 but comes in nearly 1 kilo lighter and has even better components. The main change is the Shimano 1 x10 gears which deliver on the ‘less is more’ principle. Simply put you’ve less gears (but still the same huge range due to the 44 tooth cassette), less weight, less to go wrong or maintain, and happily less chance of choosing the wrong gear. This is not dumbing down the ride – on the contrary it’s being clever and is a fact that keen mountain bikers started using years ago. Additionally you get better brakes and a better fork so that control and comfort are even better – what more reason do you need to explore new possibilities? Frame: 6061 aluminium frame keeps the overall weight low Forks: Full carbon fork saves weight and reduces vibration for a smoother ride Gears: Shimano Deore 1x10 is simple, reliable and easy to use Brakes: Shimano hydraulic brakes for powerful and controlled stopping Wheels: Fantastic Schwalbe Citizen tyres help roll faster for longer
