The Evolution
The mountain bike, as it evolved form the 'cruisers,' started to morph into a more competition-oriented riding position, longer top tubes, lower handlebars, narrower saddles, shorter wheelbases and more upright frame angles so much so that many cyclists were finding mountain bikes uncomfortable within the range of their recreational riding requirements.This prompted an industry response with the "comfort bike," typically resembling the mountain bikes in wheel size, brake and gear equipment, but also differ in several ways:
- Shorter top tubes, for a more upright riding position.
- Taller, often adjustable, handlebar stems, also for a more upright riding position.
- "Riser" handlebars, also for a more upright riding position.
- Wider saddles with springs and / or suspension seatposts.
- Smooth, wide tires for quiet and comfort on smooth surfaces.
- Lower bottom brackets for easier mounting/dismounting.
In many respects, the comfort bike takes us back to the riding style /position of the classic English roadster, only with modern gears and brakes. Often seen as slower, stogier versions of the various "hybrid" bikes, they are targetted at pretty much within the same market niche.
