Schwinn Crest Urban Women’s Hybrid Bike (700c Wheels)

Hybrid Bike Reviews: Whether you’re commuting to work or cruising around town, the Schwinn Crest urban women’s hybrid bike offers a comfortably smooth ride. The Crest is outfitted with a 17-inch aluminum hybrid frame and an SR Suntour front suspension fork, helping the bike hold up to shocks from bumpy or rough terrain.

The Shimano TX-31 rear derailleur and SRAM 21-speed grip shifters, meanwhile, give you a host of gear options for flat or hilly rides. And riders will love the 700cc rims and 700 x 38c hybrid tires, which are thinner than mountain bike tires but sturdier than most road bike options. Other features include an SR Suntour front derailleur, an alloy adjustable stem with a 30mm rise comfort bar, and alloy linear pull brakes.

Schwinn Crest Urban Women’s Hybrid Bike (700c Wheels) Pros and Cons

Pros:
1. Good components overall.
2. Comfortable..front shocks and seat shock are mediocre.
3. Good pedals (metallic vs. cheap plastics)
4. Fenders keeping from dirt and other element is good and so is carrying cage.
5. Does come with kick stand
Cons:
1. weight slightly on heavy side. close to ~40lbs. so going up hill might be little bit challenging.
2. Grip shift is OK but prefer trigger shifter “Schwinn Broadway” has that feature [...]. Faster gear shift with trigger shift.
3. Minor thing but unlike Giant, Kenda tire does not provide “self sealing tube”
4. Water cage position of the bike is too low (awkward position). Instead get a water bladder back pack.




The only drawback I see is the water bottle mount is very low and in between the frame so I don’t know if I will install a holder. My old bike had thumb shifters which I prefer but I will get used to the twist shift. I don’t think that you will be disappointed with this bike. Cute color too sort of a bug green!
