Reviews are not that bad either.

The perfect all-rounder, this hybrid bike combines the best elements of a mountain bike, racing bike and touring bike and is perfect for commutes and leisure, offering a smooth ride on sealed and unsealed roads.

700C Trekking hybrid mountain bike
Lightweight aluminium-alloy frame
Premium Neco headset
9 x Sensah gears
Upright riding position for comfort on long journeys
Mechanical disc brakes for precise control with minimum force
Prowheel crankset
Designed for efficiency and stability, the Fortis 700C Trekking Hybrid Mountain Bike is suitable for city streets and off-road trekking, and features a lightweight aluminium-alloy frame.

Lightweight design

Enjoy the robust, stabilising features of a mountain bike without the hefty, heavy frame with this lightweight aluminium-alloy bike that makes conquering hills and carrying it up stairs easy.

City to country

Made for both city streets and unsealed roads, this bike performs well on commutes, with smooth wheels for efficiency on tarmac and a textured outer tread for grip and stability on rougher roads.

Comfortable to ride

Sit upright while you cycle and enjoy a comfortable posture with the bike’s flat handlebars and raised seat that makes longer rides less off a strain on your back and shoulders.

    Anyone else thought that was a 700cc bike initially?

    • figarow on 11/09/2022 - 21:18

      Yes Hybrid electric 700cc were my thoughts.

  • c64 on 11/09/2022 - 19:39

    only 9 speed

    • bargaino on 11/09/2022 - 19:47

      It is the trend these days to do away with front derailleur.
      1x9-speed is not so different to 3x7.

      • choofa on 11/09/2022 - 19:53

        1x9 is great. Cassette with disc breaks at a bargain price. Would make a good budget commuter for anyone interested in starting to ride to work

        • bargaino on 11/09/2022 - 19:54

          Yes, cassette is very nice at this price!

          The problem with this bike's gears is that the top gear looks too low, so you can't ride very fast. Needs a bigger chainring?
          Some proper specs would be nice!!

            @bargaino: I've got a 10 speed MTB with only 1 sprocket at the front.

            It's cromulent for 90% of the terrain. For a commuter city bike this would be sufficient.

            • bargaino on 12/09/2022 - 12:26

              @ChickenDinner123: Your 1x10 probably has a bigger chainring, and larger range on the cassette.

              A road bike does not need as big a gear range, but this bike appears to be geared to low/slow for my taste.

            @bargaino: It actually says freewheel in the image so maybe it’s not so good

            • bargaino on 12/09/2022 - 12:26

              @choofa: Nah, definitely a cassette. Hopefully Shimano/SRAM compatible.

          Cable actuated disc brakes are trash

          This thing will likely rust when it gets wet.

          It's more than double the price, but buy a giant and do yourself a favour. These bikes will end up in landfill quicker than you can say, price jacking

    Wouldn’t this be better for commuting? A little old school, rim brakes, simple, $10 more,

    Is this one better or worse?
    I know nothing about bikes but wanted to buy one for a few weeks now.

      You should choose a bike on what you want, not the price
      What do you want the bike to do?

    • BadGiraffe on 11/09/2022 - 21:43

      I'm no biking expert, but I ride around my neighborhood a lot. Getting groceries, going to train stations, etc. Because I go up and down kerbs, I highly appreciate my front suspension.

      So, like choofa said, what kind of riding will you be doing?

    • Taron on 11/09/2022 - 23:35

      I bought this one in Kogan when it was only $89. Very happy with it ;) Riding every day for exercise.

    29" wheels?

    • bargaino on 12/09/2022 - 12:33
      +2

      29" rims are the same as 700C, though typically wider. Both are 622mm rim diameter.

  • jvdv001 on 11/09/2022 - 21:40

    Wow - a bike for $189 from Kogan. I wouldn't risk riding it to the end of my drive.

      I bought their folding mountain bike. For the price, it's alright. It's heavy and it has already begun rusting a little in places, but nothing that can't be fixed.

  • cerealsmok3r on 11/09/2022 - 22:58

    The frame looks very flimsy for a mountain bike. Would be better off as a commuter bike if anything

    • sam buster on 12/09/2022 - 09:52

      It's not intended to be used as a mountain bike!
      It's a hybrid - combining elements of mountain bikes (eg, the light trail-capable elements and flat bars) and road bikes (lighter frame, narrower tyres) without actually being either.
      You wouldn't enter a road race on one of these just as you wouldn't tackle a rocky mountain trail - but it improves on both styles of bike for everyday commuting or leisure.

  • CoreJava on 11/09/2022 - 23:25

    I have one of these bike and it is pretty good.

  • renaldof on 12/09/2022 - 08:58

    I am more impressed about the 599 than the 189

  • shaybisc on 12/09/2022 - 10:37

    How can you buy a bike off Kogan specs which are almost nonexistent? I'm looking at the Urban Hybrid specs and I can't even see how wide the tyres are. Nearly the only spec there is the rather unlikely 10.5kg net weight. Maybe there are more specs in the user guide … no.
