If you are going off road at all, stay clear of pure road bikes. There are simply not designed for it. Possibly a regular Hybrid or a performance hybrid with more aggressive tires for off road trails. Once into your better class of bikes, it's all about fit & feel. Which one "feels" right to you? All I can tell you is I love my Raleigh hybrid. I do sorta like that Raleigh Misceo 1.0 because it has a cassette hub (rear gears) and not a freewheel hub. Also has double walled rims. BOMB PROOF!
