I get the joke, but the geometry and tire capacity place this is far closer to a rigid MTB than any hybrid would ever dream about. Function is more than skin deep, and these differences are notable.
I am intrigued by the bike a bit. Could be a more capable and fun commuter (with rack and fenders) than the other flat bar options (commuter, fitness and such) in the Spesh line. Really depends on what someone wants, but I see this as a jibber and play bike along the lines of a supermotard (supermoto) dirt bike for mixed dirt and street play.
Braaaaaaap…
