When you plan to hurtle down the mountain biking tracks slopes, the mountain bike is the most vital investment you would make. Mountain bike is a specific and specialized bike and this design would meet the needs of various bikers to use on unpaved surfaces or dirt trails. We generally see knobby and wide tires for a mountain bike that would add for more grip and nice absorption of shock for the kind ride which bike is supposed to do in the process of mountain biking.
Suspension on the front wheel has also become an ideal tool that comes with both front and rear suspension has got wide usage in current day mountain bike. You even get mountain bikes that have bar ends equipped on the mountain bike handle bars, though handle bars that are raised are also very famous too. The wheel's diameter for these bikes is above two feet, although larger wheels are becoming very common these days.
Speaking broadly, we have 4 different types of mountain bikes that includes hardtail, fully rigid and a soft dual and tail or full suspension. Fully rigid bikes come with a frame that has a rigid fork and also an attached rear and also have no suspension. Even the hardtail do not come with a suspension although they come with a front suspension. Soft tail has a frame that has a confined rear suspension and activates using a flex of pivot rather than a frame. The dual bikes or full suspensions come with a front suspension fork and also a rear suspension. It even uses pivots for the rear wheel movement.
The design of your mountain bike would depend on the kind of the terrain that's been used on and it is very common to get bikes which are supposed to be used for Cross country, free ride, all/endure mountains, trial, downhill, dirt jumping - street and urban, 4-cross racing or mountain cross, single speed and north shore usage.
Lately, mountain biking has become one of the mainstream events and the styles of riding have become increasingly very aggressive, that would mean with new frames which are of very good design, lighter and also very strong than the earlier ones and even come with a geometry to assist in overcoming the obstacles. We get current day mountain bikes in 27, 24 and 21 speeds and with three gears one to the front and there would be 9, 8 and 7 gears on the rear wheel. Some of these come loaded with carbon bicycle frames as well.
