2020 Raleigh Pioneer Tour Crossbar Hybrid Bike in Silver

For any city-dweller on four wheels, a commute is just that: a commute. But for cyclists, commuting is a daily adventure, filled with scenic park routes, time-saving shortcuts and fresh morning breeze.

It’s a workout that saves you from the dreaded lunchtime gym session. It’s a chance to grab coffee at your favourite spot across town. It’s a new discovery, every single day. And with the Pioneer Tour, navigating the city has never looked so good.

This classic hybrid bike is tailor-made for both urban and countryside cycling, whether that’s skipping the traffic on your daily commute or long, leisurely rides by the river on your weekends off. With a strong, unbelievably lightweight aluminium frame, the Pioneer Tour is designed to withstand the rigour of everyday life, while still being light enough for a fast, relaxed ride. When you’re ready to swap the tarmac for the trail, the wide 40c tyres have a tread pattern that’s perfect for light trails and canal paths, with double-wall aluminium wheels for rolling over rockier terrain. And with a reflective strip around the rim, you’ll always be seen on the roads – whatever the time of year.

Equipped with 21-speed Shimano Tourney gears, you can maximise your pedal power and finally conquer those lung-busting inclines. Paired with Shimano’s EZ fire shifters, changing gears has never been easier – leaving you just as prepared for the hills as you are for zipping along the flat.

Packing the same quality components that make our original Pioneer a trailblazer, the Pioneer Tour comes with a host of other features to make city cycling even easier. To keep your jeans safe on rainy days, full front and rear mudguards let you race through puddles to your heart’s content. For essential snack storage, a rear pannier rack means you can forgo a rucksack and stash your belongings in a handy pannier bag. With everything you need strapped onto two wheels, you can experience the city like never before.
