The Raleigh Route 700C Hybrid Bike was designed as a Dual Sport bike to combine the features of a mountain bike with the efficiency of a hybrid. Hit the trails in the morning and ride home through the city in the afternoon. By merging the qualities of mountain and hybrid bikes together, the Route does it all, and does it well. The Route is built for performance with features like a Shimano EZ fire shifting system, alloy-crown suspension fork, alloy V brakes and alloy double-wall rims. All these features paired with the lightweight aluminum frame, lightweight alloy crank and stem, gives you a lightweight performer that can do it all at a great price point.

Within weeks of buying this bike, I had to take it back to shop for repairs 2 times. The shocks started making squeeky noise when riding. The front gears would not change correctly, most of the time getting stuck at 2nd gear failing to mobe to 3rd gear. I took back to Canadian Tire to fix these, and after I got it back, the gear cable snapped. Had to take it back again to get it repaired. My old SuperCycle never had any such issues. I am extremely disappointed with the Raleigh bikes so far!
Have no complaints about the bike, it is light weight and easy to ride. Really happy with this purchase.
Purchased 2 yrs ago. Buy when on sale. Get it tuned correctly. (CT bike tech varies in my opinion), Original tires have higher rolling resistance. Changed to road tires of 700x35c supporting 60+ psi and the bike was much enjoyable to ride for me. Why I bought this bike? Owned Raleigh bike in the past and see good value. Quality parts, aluminum frame (lighter than steel), standard parts for easy maintenance / upgrades.
First review was moderated, so read between the lines here. Good bike, but make sure you take it somewhere professional to get tuned up and assembled properly before you ride it in traffic.
I dont know if Ill like it or not. Purchased a month ago and it was broken. Still waiting for it to be repaired. Bought the bike to enjoy in the summer and have no idea when Ill be able to use it
