The Vertigo Moroto men's hybrid bike is versatile enough to handle leisure rides and the daily commute. It comes equipped with a 20-inch alloy frame and fork, and 28-inch wheels with tyres that allow for some light off-road excursions. The front and rear caliper brakes gives the bike reliable stopping power, even in wet and rainy conditions.
In silver with blue details, the Vertigo Moroto men's hybrid bike also benefits from 18-speed Shimano gears with twist-grip controls for easy gear change.
Frames dont take as much up of the total weight as you would think.
Its the rest of the heavy cheap components they throw on it.
My mtb frame is 1.2Kg but the bike still weighs 9.6kg overall.

Just bought one, says alloy and another person who bought it and reviewed it said it was 1kg heavier.
Still great value for money to go on bike rides with grandson in the summer with his bike we bought from Tesco :wink:

Says it's alloy!

Unfortunately it includes a pointless and poor front suspension to add weight with no benefit!

There's a version with rigid forks, but despite claiming to be an aluminium frame it appears to weight 17kg!
true point
i just like the lightweight components of aluminium
but steel is good but you have to get a good brand

very cheap but its a shame its a steel frame
i bought an apollo transfer steel and when i change it for a trek aluminium there was a huge difference
still hot though for £70

Usually a steel frame will give a smoother ride than alu as steel absorbs shocks better..... but it has to be decent steel, not cheapass Chinese monkey metal steel.
But you cant expect much for £70.
