2020 Raleigh Strada 650b Open Frame Hybrid Bike in Grey

On a scale of one to ten, sitting in traffic is approximately zero fun. And no amount of great music or embarrassingly loud singing can change that. No, there’s only one fix for this kind of daily commuting boredom. And it comes with a saddle. (Hint: it’s not a horse. They require way too much food.)

Introducing the Strada: the urban cyclist’s dream bike.

Whether it’s livening up your daily commute or taking a slow ride along the river, the Strada is your key to conquering the urban jungle. With a fast, agile frame and an ultra-sporty riding position, this lightweight bike lets you slip through traffic with ease – no gridlock necessary. The 650b wheels have been painstakingly selected for their comfort and cushioning, giving you a ride so smooth you’ll barely be able to believe it. And when you’re ready to swap the tarmac for the trail, the 47c-wide tyres are perfect for tackling looser ground, with full mudguards to keep you clean and dry while you’re off-roading.

The 21-speed Shimano gear system helps you maximise your pedal power – perfect for defeating those lung-busting hills. And when it’s time to race back down them, the Strada’s powerful V-brakes give you plenty of stopping power. This exquisite design is topped off with a Selle Royal Essenza saddle, offering exceptional comfort on longer rides.

It’s time to take back the city. It’s time for the Strada.
