Ridgeback's Rapide range of bikes is the brand's highly successful staple range of versatile all-rounders. These bikes are good value but high quality British designed bikes either lightly equipped with rack and mudguards, or unequipped for a more sporty look.

We like them for their smart understated styling; their general lack of suspension forks,  which we feel to be unecessary for this class of bike; and their more consistent use of high quality Shimano parts than you will find on other brands. They are also noticeably lighter than many other bikes of their type - especially the cheaper models.

Ridgeback Comet Men's Bronze
Ridgeback Comet Men's Matt Titanium

The Ridgeback Comet is an unequipped hybrid sitting with plenty of Shimano gears and an adjustable handlebar stem to give you a choice of riding positions. Its light and strong wheelset rolls fast, shod with the puncture resistant Continental Contact tyres. While still largely comfort-oriented, with its upgraded transmission it will be more suited to the day to day grind than the cheaper Motion and would also be ideal as a budget base for an equipped child carrier.

Frame type: Classic men's diamond

Sizes available: 15", 17", 19", 21", 23".

Colour/s: Matte Titanium or Metallic Brown.
