Marin San Rafael DS2
Best versatile hybrid for riders tackling both pavement and light trails.
This is the ultimate hybrid for riders who refuse to choose between pavement and gravel. Its suspension fork and rugged tires smooth out rough city streets and light trails with ease, though the added weight of those components makes it less nimble than a dedicated road bike.
