At present, the number of bicycles in the world can be said to be growing explosively, and there are not a few people who use them for fitness and entertainment purposes. Many people will choose XC bikes as their first choice when they first get started. Because the tires are wider and the body has shock absorbers, it has better impact resistance. XC bikes can be used on all roads. However, due to its small shock absorber stroke, it cannot absorb large shocks and can only be adapted to light off-road levels (road conditions with a small height difference between single obstacles).
Mountain bike XC is the abbreviation of CrossCountry and is an ordinary off-road bicycle. Light off-road bicycles have strong climbing performance and are used for ordinary mountain cross-country.
They are also the lightest and most practical models among mountain bikes. They pursue lightweight and high-speed passability. Most XC bicycles have hard frames (no rear shock absorbers) and are equipped with shock absorber front forks or hard forks, with a front fork travel of 80-120mm. In terms of wheels, the popular sizes are 26, 27.5, and 29-inch) wheel diameters to choose from. Among them, 27.5 and 29 are currently the most used in international competitions (UCI). They have higher passability and grip and are very popular among professional riders. favor. The frame is made of aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, scandium alloy, carbon fiber, and other lightweight materials. The front shock absorber is often used as a shock absorber stroke of about 100 mm. The function of the shock absorber is rebound damping adjustment. and lockout adjustment.
First of all, the common phenomenon is the pursuit of lightweight. This development direction is not wrong. For competition-level XC models, climbing is basically what they can compete in competitions. But when choosing an XC bicycle, we can’t just pursue lightweight, but also consider the strength of use. If the parts deform, bend or even break during use, the vehicle may be destroyed or someone may be killed. Therefore, in addition to choosing a high-quality frame, we must also choose good-quality bicycle parts, with safety first.
