2. Priority Continuum Onyx
Check Price
While we’re not sure the three words “Priority Continuum Onyx” flow so well together as a name, it does little to take away from the style, simplicity, and safety that unite to create unmatched value inside this phenomenal hybrid bike.
As our Premium Pick, you might expect a hefty price tag, but with the Priority Continuum Onyx, you get the best of the best for not too much more than all the others. Doing away with the classic chain, Priority Bicycles upgrades to a Gates carbon drive belt, making sure you never again stain your pants with grease, while also eliminating the need to stop and fix an aging or worn down bike chain.
Plus, those puncture-resistant WTB tires aren’t too shabby either with their reflective sidewalls. Coupled with the front and rear dynamo-powered lights that illuminate your path without the need for batteries and 360-degree reflective logos and tire beading, the Priority Continuum Onyx might just be the best bike for night riding, especially since it comes in black.

Extremely affordable, the Del Sol LXI Flow 2 Comfort Bike sports a Heat-treated 6061 aluminum, Tig-welded construction that promotes its easygoing geometry that provides excellent visibility, comfort; plus easy on/off the bike transitions.
