Mountain bikes are bicycles specially designed for cross-country (hills, trails, wilderness, gravel roads, etc.), and their main features are wide tires, straight handlebars, front and rear shock absorption, and more comfortable riding. Wide, multi-toothed tires provide grip, and there are shock absorbers to absorb shocks. In recent years, the application of front shock absorption has become the standard, and vehicles with front and rear shock absorption are becoming more and more popular. Some mountain bikes started using extensions, but angled handlebars became fashionable.
So why is it called a mountain bike? Mainly because of the following points:
1.Mountain bikes have the characteristics of high rigidity and flexible walking.
They don’t have to choose roads when riding. They have won wide acclaim whether they are roaming in the streets or leisurely. Riders can enjoy comfortable rides in various road environments. Fun to ride.
2. Mountain bikes, because of their sturdy, rugged, novel appearance, colorful and eye-catching colors, and superior riding performance, soon became the fashion pursued by urban youths.
3. Mountain bikes, various components are different from ordinary bicycles, with cushioning effect, tires with good shock resistance, strong frames with high material rigidity, handlebars that are not easy to fatigue, and even on steep slopes. Transmissions for ground riding, etc., make mountain bikes more suitable for mountain climbing, cross-country, and outings.
4.Mountain bikes generally have 6-speed, 10-speed, 21-speed, 27-speed, and 30-speed. Correctly using the transmission, it can cope with complex road conditions and climates such as flat roads, uphill and downhill, dirt roads, and headwinds, and is much faster and labor-saving than ordinary bicycles.
When it comes to why it is called a mountain bike, I have to mention its origin. The history of mountain bikes can be traced back to the end of the 19th century when people began to ride on the mountain. With the continuous improvement of vehicle technology, mountain biking gradually became more popular. Today, mountain biking has become the most popular in the world. In one of the sports of cycling, mountain biking, players need to ride bicycles through rugged mountain roads, forest trails, cliffs, rocky areas, rivers, and so on.
