700c Hyper Bicycles Urban Bike for Adults, Gray, Character Group: Urban

I rode 100 miles from Richmond to Jamestown on the VA Capital Trail and back on this bike. That's testament to the durability of the bike. For the price of $178, I cannot give this bike any less than 5 stars. It held up on my 100 mile ride. 'Nuff said. Now for some things I need to mention to those buying this bike. The front tire went flat after a couple of rides. I patched the inner tube (happened on the side away from the tread) before my century ride. The inner tubes are cheap...but then again, this could happen to a bike bought from a local bike shop for a lot more money. To make my 100 mile ride more comfortable, I had to replace the stock saddle with a smoother saddle because the stock saddle had uncomfortable threads (bumps) on it. It will put indentations on your butt when riding. So you definitely need to swap it out. Secondly, this bike has no bottle cage mounts. You will need to buy a grip bottle cage mount and put it on the down tube or saddle or buy a triangle frame bag to store your bottles. This option requires you to dismount from the bike to get water form the bag. That's what I did on my 100 mile ride. Thirdly, the rear derailleur only needed a counter-clockwise turn to tighten the gear cable. The gear change between all 8 gears is now fast and easy. I like that the highest gear is 13 teeth and lowest gear is 34 teeth. The transitions are smooth and will not mess up your cadence with sprockets 13-14-17-19-21-24-28-34 with flexible eight speeds. The front crank has 40 teeth -- a decent compromise for a 1x crankset. Would I change anything? Sure. I might change the handlebars to be flatter and maybe a little longer. I might even add a mount to add perpendicular bars to simulate drop bars and to become more aero. Also the grips could be replaced with something more forgiving and ergonomic. These are minor, cheap changes that will make the bike even better. I could not be happier with this bike. Even though it's called an urban bike, it will do great on light trails. It's basically a hybrid bike. Go for it!

I love this bike, it is my second identical bike and I have put approximately 10,000 miles on them. It really is not much fancier than your regular "Department Store Mountain Bike" but it has 2 great advantages: 1) The frame is lightweight aluminum and it is much easier to pedal than a steel frame bike (doesn't rust either). 2) The tires are 700c which have a lot less resistance especially on roads and sidewalks. As far as the rest of the bike, it has basic tires, brakes, a firm seat and standard tires/tubes. The bearings are basic, the bearings on my first bike wore out after 6,000 miles.
