Several Hybrids, like my Specialized Crosstrail, have lockout forks. This is a really nice feature. It enables you to lock the fork for times when you do not want an active suspension. I like, and use this feature a lot. It's also very nice to be able to use it when the going is rough, even on very rough pavement. Easy and handy - you can do it on the fly.

For me, the Hybrid is an excellent do it all bike. The only thing it does not do well, is race!

Pavement, packed trails, gravel, dirt, groceries, errands, all fall, nicely, into it's realm.
