John,
Like I said, I think the term 'hybrid' erroneously came up in the conversation when my wife and kids bought the bike for me. And for whatever reason, it stuck on the bike all these yrs. It's obviously just a early, non-suspension mountain/ATB. I'll be riding this bike until I can't ride anymore and maybe it will go on into someone else's life as well.
It's been on the road more than off and never really punished other than I'm a big guy. I've heard the frames are pretty durable for punishment. I've certainly never babied it....generally my go-to bike of choice.
