Mountain biking (MTB) is a sport of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain, usually using specially designed mountain bikes. Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain, such as air or coil-sprung shocks used as suspension, larger and wider wheels and tires, stronger frame materials, and mechanically or hydraulically actuated disc brakes. Mountain biking can generally be broken down into distinct categories: cross country, trail, all mountain, enduro, downhill and freeride.
The sport requires endurance, core and back strength, balance, bike handling skills, and self-reliance. Advanced riders pursue both steep technical descents and high-incline climbs. In the case of freeride, downhill, and dirt jumping, aerial maneuvers are performed off both natural features and specially constructed jumps and ramps.
6 Types of Mountain bikes
Mountain Bike Style- Ideal Terrain
Cross Country - Smooth trails, fire roads
Trail - Mixed trails with moderate climbs and descents
Enduro - Rocky, technical trails
Downhill - Steep, technical descents and bike parks
Fatbike - All terrain bike, best used on soft sand or snow
Dirtbike - Dirt jumping bike, uses on smooth jumps and jump parks
Full Suspension Bike vs Non suspension bike (ridged bike)
Suspension only allows a rider to go faster and stay in control over rough terrain.
