If I can be more specific , I am 40 years old and weigh 175. I am looking for 10-20 miles rides on paved and maybe dirt trails. Not any kind of mountain bike.
I have $1000 to spend on a hybrid. If not the Specialized Cross Trail, then what else do you recommend?
Thank you.
Jason
It is the small of 3 chain rings on the triple cranks. Its good for going up real steep hills, but useless if you don't go up these kind of hills.
10 to 20 miles can be done with any of these crosstrails. Best idea is to test ride to find what you like.
My personal opinion is the sport is the best bang for the buck on the Crosstrails. But, there are other equally good bikes for less money from Giant, GT, Fuji and others.
