Malvern Star Escape 2 (2016)

The 2016 Malvern Star Escape 2 is a hybrid bike. Ready for adventure, the Escape is equipped with fat, lightly treaded tires, at home on gravel, grass, dirt, or pavement, nicely complementing the lightweight aluminum frame and suspension fork for a smooth, comfortable ride. Other new-rider-friendly features abound, from a low standover height to padded saddle and grips. Componentry is excellent, especially at this modest price: all-condition hydraulic disc brakes, a clean-shifting and widely geared Shimano drivetrain, and light, tough alloy wheels.
A good recreational bike.
