What are Mountain Bikes?
A. Mountain bikes or ATBs (all-terrain bikes) feature a frame and fork that are more rugged than those found on general recreational trail bikes. Their frames are often built of aluminum so they are lightweight and stiff, making them efficient to ride. The fork has a suspension or shock-absorbing feature to reduce hand/arm fatigue. The wheels are built with stronger rims than on recreational bikes and the component selection (cranks, derailleurs, etc.) are more durable. This bike will take on most any terrain.
