Video: Six of the best urban bikes

Urban bikes have come a long way recently and here’s a video showing six of the most interesting and up-to-date options that we spotted at Eurobike a few weeks ago, including models from Scott, Cannondale and Bianchi.

The bikes we’ve selected here are pretty diverse. Scott’s Sub Evo 10, for example, uses a Gates Carbon Drive belt rather than a chain while the Rabeneick Niagra comes with a two-speed kickshift hub.

Cannondale’s Conto 2 has a single-legged Lefty fork and hydraulic brakes from Magura while the big feature of the Schindelhauer Thin Bike, as the name suggests, is its ability to be stored flat in order to take up the minimum of space. The pedals fold in and you can spin the bars using a clever quick release system.

Bianchi use a lightweight road bike frame at the heart of the Via Nirone Flat Bar for fast commuting but Hey Cycle go down a completely different route with the mixte version of their bike.

Check out what’s on offer. There might be something that suits your needs perfectly.
