A Ridgeback Rapide series bike offers the perfect combination of speed, comfort and practicality.

Adaptable and stylish with the durability needed for everyday 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.

With the strength of a mountain bike, road geometry and fast rolling 700c wheels, the Rapide's sleek aluminium frame is built using size specific tubing to provide a responsive yet resilient ride. Mudguard and rack fittings are standard as are Continental puncture resistant tyres.

With wide ratio gearing, comfortable grips and an ergonomic saddle, a Ridgeback Rapide is commute ready as well as being a practical and fun way to get around town.
