Utility

 
The state of being useful, profitable, or beneficial.

Orange is the colour of the useful stuff. Bikes in this category cater to your everyday needs for transport. The qualities we look for in products of this category are ease of use, durability and reliability. Built for short distance, but high frequency use, 5* utility bikes are practical and low maintenance; can be ridden in everyday clothing; come with lots of equipment and can carry heavy loads. The simplest measure for utility bikes is how much equipment they have. See below for our top scoring (4 & 5 star) utility bikes.
