Oh, well Cross bike isn't what you're looking for. And you won't find a road bike with middle suspension. Basically, you need to decide which ur closer too, and buy that bike. Or buy two bikes.

Cross bike - 80% road 20% offroad. And by offroad, I dont mean BMX jumps track.

Well, whatever suits you. Just try to think in detail what you need before you buy it, so you don't regret it.
I saw this the other day. Looks good for off-road and on-road and is similar to my current bike:

It doesn't really matter if it looks cool, thats the last thing that determines wheter its good for something.

Can you put more info or link with price/gear on it?

looks cool
That doesn't mean shit tbh.

However, I must strain that I need one of those suspensions near the seat and suspension at the front tyres as I am quite heavy and I frequently do bunny hops around 30cm and jumps.


My bike broke yesterday :(
The plastic holding the chain in gear broke off and its going to take forever to fix.

swooping season
I wear a helmet (Its a skater one as well, not a bike one).

There is this tree nearby that has thick branches popping out (20 cm diameter) and I've driven into it a few times accidentally at 20km/hr, striking the helmet but I don't get hurt.


I always forget.
