Mountain bikes are specifically designed for off-road cycling, featuring elements such as front or full suspension, large knobby tires, durable wheels, stronger brakes, straight handlebars, and low gear ratios for climbing steep grades. These bicycles are primarily used on unpaved surfaces like mountain trails, single tracks, and fire roads, with terrain often including rocks, roots, loose dirt, and steep inclines. Moreover, many trails feature technical trail features (TTFs) such as log piles, rock gardens, skinnies, gap jumps, and wall-rides. Since its inception in the 1970s, the sport has evolved into numerous subtypes, including cross-country (XC), all-day endurance, freeride, downhill, and slalom types, each requiring specific designs for optimal performance. Advancements in suspension travel and gearing have led to increased capabilities for both climbing and descending steep terrain. The urban setting has also embraced mountain bikes due to their heavy-duty construction and wider tires, which help navigate through potholes and over curbs.
