Mountain Bikes

Buying a mountain bike is a great purchase if you are looking to explore any terrain, head to your local trail centre or simply buy a more robust bicycle. Not all mountain bikes are designed for the same purpose, yes they are all designed for off-road riding, but there are different types of bikes depending what terrain you are riding. Some mountain bikes are designed as ready-ready cross country bikes (XC bikes) designed to be light and fast, then there are trail bikes which have a good balance for climbing and descending which also lead into all-mountain bikes. For many mountain bikers the downhill is where all the fun is, some are lucky enough to have a bike park with an uplift nearby, but for others an enduro bike combines the perfect balance between downhill fun and the ability to pedal back to the top.
