The Specialized Ariel step through womens 2014 hybrid sports bike is great looking, great value for money and has some great features, making it ideal for commuting or leisure.
The Ariel step through has a lower top tube, making mounting and dismounting an easier and more graceful experience. The frame is light and designed especially for a women's shape and the fork gives a small amount of suspension if the way is getting a little rugged. The triple chainset gives you extra gearing to help with those hills and Specialized's own tyres are reliable and sporty.
