1) Ideal for off-roading and trail riding.
2) Versatile performance on various road conditions.
3) Comfortable riding position and front suspension reduce shoulder pressure on bumpy rides.
4) Excellent for cardio and intense exercise workouts.

Cons:
1) Requires more effort to pedal compared to hybrid cycles or road bikes.
2) Heavier in weight compared to hybrid or road bikes.

Are Mountain Bike / MTB good for regular or city usage?

While mountain bikes are commonly associated with off-road adventures, they can also serve as reliable options for city commuting and regular exercise. However, it's worth noting that they require additional energy to pedal compared to hybrid or road bikes.As a reference point, the energy required to ride 10 km on a hybrid cycle would roughly allow you to cover 8 km on a mountain bike. For short routes ranging from 10 to 20 km in daily usage, both mountain bikes and hybrids are suitable choices as the difference in energy consumption is minimal

What Tyre size to choose for Mountain Bike / MTB

The tire thickness of mountain bikes typically ranges from 2.10 inches to 3 inches wide. For city usage, a tire size of 2.10 inches is most suitable as thicker tires can make pedaling more challenging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Frame size to choose of Mountain Bike?

The first and most important thing to decide when choosing a perfect mountain bike (MTB) is the frame size. Different bicycle brands provide various frame size information, making it difficult to select the correct one. However, the idea or concept behind the correct frame size is the same for any bicycle brand.

1) Check your inseam length, which is the distance from the ground to your crotch area.

2) Refer to the bicycle size chart or bicycle dimensions and check the standover height. The standover height of a bicycle refers to the distance between the ground and the top tube of the bicycle frame when the rider is straddling the bike with both feet flat on the ground.

3) Once you have both pieces of data, look for the frame size where your inseam length is 2 inches to 4 inches more than the standover height of the bicycle.

What gear to choose in Mountain Bike / MTB ?

Mountain bikes are primarily designed for hilly terrain and off-roading adventures, but their versatility also makes them popular choices for city commuting and exercise.
* For city usage covering distances under 20 km daily on flat roads and flyovers, a 21-gear MTB is suitable.
* Opt for a 3x8 or 3x9 cassette-based gear system if you're planning long rides or tackling hilly terrain.
* For enthusiasts involved in mountain bike sports and seeking participation in events, a 1x10, 1x11, or 1x12 gear drivetrain is recommended. The convenience of gear shifting on one side of the handlebar enhances usability during off-roading, trail riding, or downhill descents.

Which suspension is best in Mountain Bike / MTB?

Bicycle suspension plays a critical role, influenced by both the rider's weight and intended usage.

Considering rider weight:* For riders weighing under 95 kg, a 50 mm suspension is recommended.
* Riders under 115 kg can benefit from an 80 mm suspension with zoom lockout.
* For riders under 140 kg, a 110 mm suspension from Sr Suntour is advisable.

Additionally, usage determines the ideal suspension:* City usage, involving potholes and speed breakers, can suffice with a 50 mm suspension.
* Rough roads or trail riding necessitates an 80 mm zoom lockout suspension, regardless of rider weight.
* Adventurous pursuits such as off-roading or downhill riding call for a Sr Suntour suspension, irrespective of rider weight.

By considering both rider weight and intended usage, individuals can select the most suitable suspension fork for their needs.

What brakes to choose in Mountain Bike / MTB ?

Mountain bikes are equipped with two major types of brakes: Mechanical Disc Brakes and Hydraulic Disc Brakes.

Mechanical Disc Brake: These brakes are suitable for city commuting or casual usage. They offer adequate control at slower speeds, making them effective for everyday riding scenarios.

Hydraulic Brake: Designed for more demanding terrain, hydraulic brakes are essential for mountain biking on steep roads and during downhill descents. The increased speeds, often exceeding 40 km/h, make it challenging to control the bike with just mechanical disc brakes. Hydraulic brakes provide the necessary stopping power and immediate response required in such situations. They are also favored by sports and stunt riders who require precise and instant braking capabilities.By understanding the differences between these brake types, riders can choose the appropriate system based on their riding style and terrain preferences.
