Types of mountain bicycles
There are different types of mountain bike, depending on the use for the have been designed. It is not the same a Cross country bicycle than an enduro. It happens the same as with cars: if you need a car to make long highway trips with a large family, isn't an urban utilitarian the same as a large Berlina?
Country and Marathon Cross Bicycles
Cross country bicycles are Mountain Bikes designed to compete in rapid circuits, marches and tests. They are very reactive and their goal is to roll quickly on mixed grounds. They usually carry a front suspension, with a maximum of 100 mm or 120 mm of travel although for a few years the so -called Marathon bicycles have been popularized, which have double suspension for longer distances or more technical routes.
Trail bicycles
Trail mountain bicycles are perfect for those cyclists looking for a balance between speed and control in technical paths. One of the main characteristics of Trail bicycles is the suspension: most of them between 120 mm and 160 mm travel. This provides greater comfort and maneuverability in the most demanding and technical areas. As for the geometry of the painting, Trail bicycles have a more relaxed steering angle, with a greater wheelbase.
Enduro and All Mountain Bicycles
Enduro and All Mountain bicycles are ideal for cyclsites seeking emotion and adenaline, with specific geometry and components that allow them to be fast and stable at the same time. The suspensions are usually longer, from 160 mm to 180 mm and carry both front and rear cushioning, because they are indicated to roll by more technical and steep paths, alternating climbing and, especially, descents.
Descent bicycles
Descent bicycles are designed to launch at full speed down, overcoming jumps and obstacles at high speeds.
A frequent doubt when buying a mountain bike is to choose the type of suspension: when is it better to buy a rigid bicycle and when is it better to buy a double suspension? It depends on several factors. One of them is the age and physical condition of the cyclist. In a generalized way with the passage of time we lose flexibility and the muscles and bones suffer more bicycle impacts on the irregularities of the terrain. That is why many mountain cyclists from 35 and 40 prefer to buy a double suspension bicycle even if they make quiet, short and not excessively technical exits. In return, they win in comfort.
Another factor to consider is the budget. Double suspension mountain bicycles are more expensive - equal to equipment - than front suspension bicycles, also rigid or semi rigid. That is why buying a second -hand mountain bike reconditioned in Tuvalum is an excellent decision. Not only do you get a fully reviewed and mechanical guarantee bicycle, but you can access a double suspension bike well equipped with the same budget that would cost you to buy a new rigid.
Wheel size: 26 ", 27.5", 29 "
Initially all mountain bicycles carried the same wheel size: 26 ". But as they evolved and differentiating in their different types and modalities, other wheel sizes were also appearing. Currently the mountain bicycles of 26" have practically disappeared and There are two dominant standards: 27.5 "and 29". The former are usually mounted on enduro bicycles and descent, while those of 29 "are practically the only option in Cross Country. Mixed systems have also appeared, such as the so -called Mullet, a combination of wheels that consists of mounting a tire of 29 29 "On the front axle and one of 27.5" in the rear.
