Raymon mountain bicycles (MTB)

Mountain bike, or MTB, is actually the most common name for this type of bicycle, which is not designed for climbing mountains. Basically, this type of bicycle is designed for riding on the most difficult routes on various surfaces or without them. Anywhere where significantly greater off-road capability and maneuverability are required.

These bikes usually have a durable frame, thick and rugged tires, suspension systems that absorb shocks when riding on uneven roads, and a greater distance between the ground and the center axle, which increases the bike's off-road capability. Mountain bikes are very often equipped with a large number of gears (21 to 33) and front and rear derailleurs. A very large number of gears makes it easier to overcome obstacles and change riding style. More efficient disc brake systems are used, which are not affected by dirt on the wheels. The characteristics of this type of bicycle differ from other bicycles in several ways. The main differences are as follows:

Frame

The frame of a mountain bike is designed to be strong, impact-resistant, and flexible. The frame geometry is designed to provide stability and comfort on uneven terrain. The frame also has special attachment points for accessories such as mudguards, luggage racks, or water bottle holders.

Tires

Mountain bike tires are wider and have a deeper tread pattern than other bicycle tires. This helps them grip the ground better, provide traction, and absorb shocks. The tires also have more air pressure adjustment options to adapt to different conditions.

Suspension

Mountain bikes have a suspension system that allows the wheels to move up and down independently of the frame. This reduces vibration and increases comfort and control when riding over branches, rocks, or other obstacles. Suspension can be either on the front wheel (known as hardtail) or on both wheels (known as full suspension). Suspension can also be adjusted as needed.

Handlebars

Bikes designed for mountain biking usually have slightly more curved handlebars, which provide better balance and maneuverability than other bikes. The handlebars also have grips that help reduce hand fatigue and improve grip.

Brakes

Mountain bikes have powerful brakes that allow you to stop quickly and effectively, even in thick mud, water, or snow. The most common type of disc brake is one with a brake disc on the wheel and a brake caliper on the frame. Disc brakes are more reliable and durable than other brakes.

Gears

These bikes have a wide range of gears, allowing you to easily adapt to different inclines and speeds. The most common are 9-12 speed cassettes on the rear wheel and 1-3 sprockets on the front wheel. Newer mountain bikes use a single chainring in the front and a large sprocket in the rear to provide a simpler and easier gear shifting system.

What are the advantages and challenges of mountain biking?

Mountain biking is not only fun, but it is also good for your health, mood, and abilities. Here are some of the benefits of mountain biking:

Improved health

Riding is an excellent aerobic exercise that strengthens your heart, lungs, and circulation, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels, burns calories and fat, and helps you lose weight. In addition, mountain biking is good for your joints and muscles because it does not put as much strain on your body as running or jumping. This makes it a better choice for exploring different places than other cardio workouts.

Mood booster

Mountain biking is a great way to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression because it stimulates the production of endorphins and serotonin in the brain, which are natural mood boosters. In addition, mountain biking is an enjoyable and interesting activity that gives you a sense of satisfaction and self-confidence.

Skill development

It is also a great way to develop coordination, balance, reflexes, reactions, strategy, and quick decision-making skills. Each trail is a new challenge that requires you to adapt to different conditions and situations. Riding these bikes will also help improve your riding skills with other bikes or vehicles.

Enjoying nature

Finally, in this category, riding bikes is a great way to see and enjoy different creatures and wonders of nature. You can ride through forests, meadows, rivers, lakes, mountains, cliffs, and other places that would otherwise be inaccessible.
