They differ from road bikes in their design and frame size. The regular ones have lightweight frames and smooth tires, as well as handlebars suitable for riding on pavement.
Hybrids are somewhat smaller and have wider tires than road bikes, and also narrower than MTB bikes. They turn out to be a little slower, so if you want speed on a highway, then you should definitely choose a normal one.
Hybrids, on the other hand, have advantages in some aspects. We move on to a brief description.

Varieties
Some varieties of hybrid bikes can be found on the market, such as all-terrain bikes , urban bikes, comfort bikes or for long trips.
The all-terrain hybrid is the most versatile because it adapts to a greater variety of terrain; Since it has wider tires it is slower. Its frame is more robust (similar to that of an MTB), it has disc brakes and usually has front suspension.
Urban hybrids are designed for daily transportation, they are efficient and comfortable. The frame and forks are rigid, many have variable height stems, use 700c tread and have tread for pavement. They are usually equipped with luggage racks and fenders.
For their part, comfort bikes are made for greater comfort, as the name indicates. The frame allows for a more upright posture so that the upper body is more relaxed. It can have suspension on the scissors or on the seat post.
Hybrids for long trips are designed to travel long distances comfortably. It looks more like road bikes, but the handlebars are straight. Since they use 700c tires with smooth, thin tires, they are faster than the others, and they usually do not have suspension.
