Unlike the Ridgeback Speed for the same money, the Comet does not have mudguards and a rack; instead it features upgraded componentry, with 8 speed shifting (as opposed to 7 speed on the Ridgeback Speed), with an upgraded rear mech.

Should you want a higher level of components than the Speed, but still want the convenience of a rack and mudguards, the Ridgeback Meteor is almost the same as the Comet, but equipped with guards and a rack.

An adjustable stem allows the riding position to be tuned to suit the rider, while the wheel package is upgraded compared to the Speed to offer a stronger and lighter wheelset.

The Comet Mens is a great value mens city bike, featuring 8 speed Shimano shifting for a reliable and comfortable bike.
