Mountain bikes are designed specifically
for off-road riding. Mountain bike frames range from cro-moly to aluminum
to carbon fiber. They have a wide range of gears to handle a variety of
off-road terrain. Frames are designed to take the punishment of rough riding
surfaces.
Mountain bikes come in a variety of models. The basic mountain bike has a rigid fork. Some models come with a front suspension fork which absorbs the bumps of rough singletrack, dirt roads, and trails. Dual or full suspension mountain bikes have a front suspension fork and some kind of suspension system for the rear wheel. Full suspension mountain bikes are ideally suited for riding in extremely rough terrain. Mountain bikes are an excellent choice for riding off-road, on rough single track or unpaved back roads. With a more upright riding position, and the smoother ride with the wider tires, many people buy mountain bike for everyday riding around town on city streets. However, mountain bikes are heavier than other types of bikes and the wider tires result in greater rolling resistance. Walt's offers a large selection of mountain bikes. We have the mountain bike that's right for your cycling style.
