Brooke

Brooke is a mid-range casual hybrid[8].

The Pendleton Brooke hybrid bike looks more like a traditional mountain bike and its specification is very similar. It’s based around a lightweight alloy frame which is available in 16″ and 18″ sizes and features 24-speed gears, three on the front and eight on the rear.

It’s designed to be ridden on a variety of surfaces, from town roads to gravel trails, paths and even muddy stuff. It features 26″ wheels, comfortable handlebar grips and leather-style saddle and non-slip pedals. It weights in at 12.9kgs, which is fairly lightweight for a bicycle in the hybrid category.

It’s clearly a well-reviewed bike, with 4.8 out of 5 stars from 35 reviews on the Halfords website.

Dalby

Dalby is top of the range hybrid.

The Pendleton Dalby hybrid bike is more of a road-orientated bike, aimed at those cycling for fitness or leisure. It comes in a 16″ or 18″ frame size and features 16-speed gears and road-biased wheels (less tread for a smoother ride), making it a great choice for the commuter, or, if you don’t opt for a bicycle on the daily commute (you should!), it’ll make a great weekend bike too. The slimline mudguards are standard fitment, meaning it’s a versatile all-year bicycle for the casual cyclist or committed commuter. It weighs in at 13.9kgs and has been well reviewed on the Halfords website, scoring 4.4 out of 5 stars from 9 reviews.

Initial

Initial is a road bicycle.

The Pendleton Initial is the women’s specific road bicycle in the Pendleton range. It’s perfect for women who are looking to get into road cycling, or want a road bike for commuting to work.

A classic blue finish is complemented by the rainbow stripes which celebrate Victoria Pendletons achievements in the world of cycling, and this is a bike that certainly looks the business.

The women’s specific alloy frame is available in small and medium, and the 16 gears will be enough to get you up most hills. It comes with a comfortable women’s specific saddle.

Ashwell

The Pendleton Ashwell Hybrid Bike looks like it came from the set of Downton Abbey. It’s an upright ladies bicycle, also known as a sit-up-and-beg or step-through. The riding position coupled with wide seat are designed to make this a comfortable bicycle for casual cycling. It doesn’t feature suspension but it does have a sprung seat, for added comfort.

It has five-speed gearing and is available in two frame sizes, 17″ and 19″ The standard accessories consist of built in mudguards a chainguard, luggage rack to carry panniers and 700C wheels which are designed for a more comfortable ride.

It’s a popular bike, scoring 4 out of 5 stars from six owner reviews on the Halfords website.

Drake

If minimalist urban bikes and cruisng around town are your thing then the Pendleton Drake is the ladies bike for you. It looks like a fixed-gear bike but it actually features 3-speeds, to help you get up those steep hills and cruise in comfort.

The Drake uses a lightweight alloy frame, available in 16″ and 18″ sizes and it rolls on 700c wheels to soak-up the bumps and potholes that are littered around our city streets.

As yet it doesn’t have any user reviews on the Halfords website but if it’s anything like the rest of the range, it’s bound to be a great choice.
