Looking to buy first Hybrid
I have been searching the web to buy my first Hybrid bike and I have drawn a blank, there are so many brands to choose from and
I don't know what is the best entry level bike out there, any suggestion would be appreciated, I am looking to stay under $600.

Hi, welcome to Bike Forums! It would help if you told us a little about yourself and how you intend to ride. For instance, is this just a weekend ride or are you thinking about commuting to work? Lots of hills? All pavement or also some trails?
Do you have any bike shops nearby that you can visit and maybe test ride a bike before you buy? There are some good points in this thread to get you started: https://www.bikeforums.net/general-c...ice-range.html

I am looking for a hybrid to take back and forth to work - about 6 miles total.
Thinking about the the Diamondback Metric 2, The REI Coop 1.1, Schwinn Super sport or the Fixation Urbex. Any thoughts?

First suggestion: https://www.marinbikes.com/bikes/2023-presidio-1
More relaxed: https://www.marinbikes.com/bikes/2023-kentfield-1#buy
The Cannondale Quick6 is showing a closeout sale: https://www.cannondale.com/en-us/bik.../quick/quick-6
Components are not the best but they are sold bikes.

Yes the 6 with the 105 groupset. The original poster has some solid options, especially if the $ can be upped a bit.

This is a great value. I have two Jamis Codas. They have wonderful ride, smooth and agile.
