Dawes Venture 2.0 Cross Bar EQ Hybrid Bike, Medium (17")

The EQ in the name means equipped — mudguards and a rear pannier rack fitted from the factory, not sold to you afterwards. Add a 3x7 gear range and this is a bike you can commute on, do the shopping with and ride at the weekend without buying anything else.Who it fitsMedium 17" crossbar frame. As a general guide that suits most riders around 5'4" to 5'9", with 19" Large and 21" X Large above it. Prefer a step-through? The Venture 2.0 EQ Low Step is the same bike in an easier-access frame.What you're getting Gears: Shimano Tourney 3x7 — a wide spread for climbing and cruising alike Brakes: alloy V-brakes — reliable, easy to adjust and cheap to maintain Frame: lightweight aluminium with relaxed geometry for a comfortable, upright ride Fitted as standard: full mudguards and a rear pannier rack Comfort: swept-back handlebars, ergonomic grips and a padded saddle Worth knowing: the Venture 1.0 is the simpler, cheaper option — one chainring, six gears, and bosses for mudguards and a rack rather than having them fitted.Why we can price like thisWe're an authorised Dawes dealer — but we don't run a shop.No showroom. No shop floor. No stock sitting in a warehouse depreciating. Your bike is picked and dispatched from the manufacturer's own facility and comes straight to your door.A traditional bike shop has to cover premises, staff and stockholding before it makes a penny, and that has to come out of the ticket price. We don't carry those costs, so we're not asking you to pay for them.What you don't lose: full manufacturer warranty, because we're an authorised dealer and not a grey importer. A real person to talk sizing through with before you order. And the option of a professional build so it arrives ready to ride.Delivery and buildFree UK mainland delivery. Bikes ship boxed and part-assembled as standard. Add our professional build and safety check at checkout and a qualified mechanic assembles, adjusts and safety-checks the bike before it leaves — a real workshop job, and entirely optional.Klarna and Clearpay available on any order value.
