Mountain Bikes | Mountain Bike
Now a mainstream sport mountain biking is a very demanding sport that requires agility, core strength, balance and of course- bike handling skills. With all those difficulties to surmount you absolutely cannot be held back by your bike. So whether you're looking for something for country roads, off road trails, singletrack, or winding trails through the forest you can find it here. These bikes are all designed to take a pounding on the trails again and again and are suited to a variety of mountain biking styles.
There is a balance to be struck between strength and weight, ridability and price. This section is home to a huge variety of mountain bikes so there is something here for everyone. Before buying, consider what kind of suspension you'd like (if any, but you have to be pretty brave to tackle an off-road cycle route with none at all), how tough the bike needs to be, and whether weight is a major concern. It certainly will be if you want to race. Some mountain bikes are also perfectly suitable for road use, although they're slower than dedicated road bikes.

Mountain biking combines the good points of a hike- fresh air, stunning views, and the chance to get around by leg power alone- with a big dollop of adrenaline. To master a difficult trail takes skill, strength, stamina, and fine judgement, but it's also a whole lot of fun. There are turns, banks, jumps, and stretches where the main attraction is nothing more than a beautiful natural environment.
While the wildest mountain bike (or MTB) trails are very wild indeed, most venues also have options for beginners and kids. Even with the best bike it takes a while to get a feel for a steep or uneven trail. Over time, a new MTB rider develops a feel for when to break and when to pedal, how sharply they can turn, and how to deal with different surfaces under the tyres. After a little while time spent on the trails will improve your cycling more generally. You'll have a lot more control and balance even on a normal hybrid or road bike.
If you were the type of kid who loved jumping in muddy puddles, you'll absolutely love mountain biking. It's not a sport for those who mind getting dirty but MTB devotees feel that a little mud is all part of the experience. Modern mountain bikes can cope with a great deal too. Just make sure to clean the bikes down afterwards and spray a little oil on the moving parts.
With lighter, stronger frames, tougher gears, and immeasurably better suspension than they've ever had before, today's top mountain bikes are easier to ride and more comfortable too. Choose a good brand and your bike won't let you down even on the roughest of rough terrain.
