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

The Schwinn Crest Urban Women’s Hybrid Bike (700c Wheels) is based around a 17-inch aluminum hybrid frame. This is a bike that will suit most women, but perhaps a bit on the big side for a small woman. Being a hybrid, it is suitable for urban commuting and for trail or road riding as well. The general feeling of most users of this model is that it leans slightly more towards being a comfort bike than a high performance road bike, but that again is just opinion. It features a SR Suntour front suspension fork and a sprung Schwinn hybrid saddle, which between them help to ensure that even rough terrain feel comfortable.

A Wide Range of Gear Options

The Schwinn Crest Urban Women’s Hybrid Bike comes with a wide range of gear options, 21 in all. They range from the very low for the steepest of hills to the very high for times when speed is all you need. The gear range comes courtesy of a combination of an SR Suntour front derailleur, a Shimano TX-31 rear derailleur, a SRAM grip shift, a cotterless 3-piece bottom bracket, a 13-28 7-speed freewheel cog set, and a KMC Z-51 chain. The Schwinn Crest Urban Women’s Hybrid Bike is ideal for commuting in heavy town or city traffic as it’s low gears makes it all so easy, and it is ideal for the long country roads too, as its high gears allow a high cruising speed that really shows off its performance capabilities.

Smooth Suspension, Whatever the Road Conditions

The Schwinn Crest Urban Women’s Hybrid Bike guarantees a smooth ride over all types of terrain, thanks to its SR Suntour front suspension fork that takes up most of the lumps and bumps of most roads. The 700 x 38c hybrid tires on the 700cc rims also work to take up some of the shock, as does the sprung Schwinn hybrid saddle. When you put them all together, you get a bike ride that is surprisingly smooth and easy.
