There’s so much buzz surrounding hybrid bikes these days that manufacturers pitch them as the be-all, end-all of multi-terrain biking. Other features include Puncture protect tires, triple chain sets for 21-gears, Tektro Hydraulic brakes, & Shimano Derailleurs on the front and rear.

It’s been floating around on some of the forums (including here on the BMX News forum) for a week or two, but now it’s official and we have the photos to prove it.
