Dawes DISCOVERY 701 Hybrid Bike 2011




The Dawes Discovery range is one of the most populr 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 701 is a new addition to the range and is designed to be a fast commuter bike that is capable of nipping through the traffic. The gearing on the 701 is similar to that seen on a road machine but with a triple front chainset it means that hills can be tackled with ease.
