Dawes DISCOVERY 501 Womens Hybrid Bike 2011




The Dawes Discovery range is one of the most popular hybrid ranges around and there are a few good reasons for this. They are quick, versatile and offer the rider excellent handling and impeccable quality. All of the Discovery bikes feature a strong, lightweight Aluminium frame with Dynamism custom tubing that offers great strength and handling as well as a fantastic look.

If you are looking to beat the rush hour traffic and get fit in the process then a Discovery bike is for you, with their slim tyres, upright riding position and mounting points for mudguards and racks they are the perfect bike for fast commuting and day to day use.

The Discovery 501 has a lightweight alloy Dynamism frame and carbon blade forks. Fitted with a 27 speed Shimano Deore gearset, Shimano V- brakes and Shimano cranks the 501 is a hybrid to be reckoned. All this is finished off with a pair of premier class wheels using Alex Ace 19 rims, Shimano hubs and laced with stainless steel spokes.
