Cannondale H400 exemplifies an amazing hybrid bike. It comes equiped with narrow wheels, plus a specialized frame, making it faster on the street than most mountain bikes. It beautifully combines the speed of a road bike, with the durability of a mountain bike.
This bike is extremely comfortable and easy to ride. The handling is good and although this is an entry-level hybrid bicycle, the overall product is top quality. You'll be equipped with 24-speed Shimano drive-train (for a smooth gear shifting experience), and Tektro linear-pull brakes. These give the H400 incredible stopping power and help you keep it under control.

The Cannondale H400 is ideal for someone looking for:
Hybrid bikes are made to perform on the road, and on the trial, which is exactly what the H400 does. However, if you're looking to keep up with your friends on their touring bikes, this might not be what you're after.
It's worth mentioning that this bike does have an aluminium frame, making it lightweight. It also means it doesn't handle as smooth as a steel, or carbon fibre framed bicycle.
After a long duration, it's seat can become uncomfortable, but this can easily be addressed with a decent seat cover. Or, simply replace the seat with something more suited towards your needs.
While the H400 has a slightly outdated aesthetic, it really is a beautiful bike (especially for it's price). You'll reap the benefits of both a mountain bike, and a road bike with this well-crafted hybrid.
If you're a beginner cyclist looking for your entry into the world of hybrid bikes, the Cannondale H400 might just be what you're looking for.
