The HYB 8.8 Womens is designed for riders who want a fun, fast and easy-handling hybrid that works equally well for fitness rides, daily commuting and light off-road exploring. The triple-butted 6061 X7 aluminium frame keeps weight low while offering the stability and comfort needed for longer outings. Smooth hidden welds give the bike a clean, refined look, and the geometry takes inspiration from Boardman’s SLR road range, adding a little extra stability to suit mixed-terrain riding.

A full C7 carbon fork helps reduce road buzz and improves steering precision, keeping the bike feeling composed whether you’re rolling along city streets or heading onto a gravel track. The 35mm Schwalbe Citizen tyres add grip and comfort on rougher surfaces and use Kevlar K-Guard puncture protection to help fend off flats.

Shimano’s Deore 1x10 drivetrain borrows mountain bike technology for simplicity and wide-range performance. With a 44-tooth chainring up front and an 11–46t cassette at the rear, you get gears for steep climbs, steady cruising and faster efforts, all operated through a single shifter. The lack of a front derailleur cuts down on maintenance and keeps the cockpit clutter-free.

Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes deliver dependable stopping power in all conditions. Their smooth, light lever feel helps you stay in control on busy streets and loose towpaths alike.

Comfort is a major focus on the HYB 8.8 Womens. The one-piece integrated handlebar and stem create a clean, modern look while placing your hands in a relaxed, natural position. Adjustable ergonomic grips reduce pressure and numbness on longer rides. A women-specific saddle and shorter crank arms further improve comfort and fit.

Practical features such as mudguard and pannier rack mounts expand the bike’s usefulness for commuting or year-round riding. At around 10.4kg, the HYB 8.8 Womens remains impressively light, making it easy to handle on hills and in stop-start traffic.

Fast, smooth and versatile, the HYB 8.8 Womens is a well-rounded hybrid ready for riders who want efficiency on the road with enough grip and comfort for light off-road adventures too.
