>>1281641OP's Bike IS NOT A HYBRID IN THE 90'S that would of been a top of the line pro team XC mountain bike
> name brand> laid back but shredable geometry (most impotant bit) > aluminium frame > good (for oem) disc wheels and tires> powerfull disc brakes > decent functional saddle post stem and bars> functional groupset ok shifters > doesnt weigh a ton>>1281642NOW THIS IS A HYBRID
> BSO brand> Dinky Geometry. The top tube drop is for old people and women to get their legs over> chromo frame> the crappiest wheels with the crappiest buil always out of true with tiny uncomfortable tires > V brakes that somehow dont stop you> quil stem and other 1970s fasterers> Bottom of the range groupset crappy shifters> weighs a ton, scary to ride over a guttetHope this clears things up. Hybrids have always existed and always been shit. XC hardtail bikes have somehow been disowned from the cycling family because of the gravel meme and are now being sold as "hybrids"
