Claud Butler Explorer 1.0 Hybrid Bike, 20" Black

An honest, comfortable all-rounder. Relaxed hybrid geometry, a suspension fork to take the sting out of potholes and kerbs, and a wide 18-speed gear range — built for pottering round town, the daily commute, or the scenic route home.

Who it fits

20" crossbar frame. As a general guide that suits most riders around 5'10" to 6'1", with the 18" below and 22" above. Send us your height and inside leg and we'll confirm which to order.

What you're getting

• Gears: Shimano 18 speed with Revoshift twist shifters and a 48/38/28T chainset — the 28T bottom ring gives a genuinely low gear for hills
• Brakes: V-brakes, easy to adjust and cheap to maintain
• Fork: suspension up front for comfort on rough tarmac and towpaths
• Frame and wheels: lightweight alloy frame on double-wall rims

Worth knowing: the Explorer 1.0 EQ is the same bike with full-length mudguards and a 20kg rear carrier already fitted.

Why we can price like this

We're an authorised Claud Butler 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.
