Get away from traffic, crowds and noise and out into the woods and trails on your Mountain Bike. There are probably more choices of design in off- road bikes than any other type. Hardtails, full suspension, front shock or rigid fork, geared and single speed. As a general purpose bike a mountain bike is hard to beat because it can go anywhere. Following is a little information on the many flavors of Mountain Bike.
For riders who are most interested in graded roads and gentle trails a Hybrid type bike might be in order. Usually with larger diameter wheels and slightly smaller tires these bikes are great for a quick trip to the store and taking on vacation for trail riding.
The most distinctive off-road bikes are Full Suspension bikes made for aggressive trail riding and competition. If speed -and- comfort is what you want try one of these.
Others choose a Hardtail with a suspension fork or even a bike with no suspension at all. For the most pure enthusiast a Single Speed Hardtail is as good as it gets - no gears to shift, just pedal and go if you're tough enough! Lighter and simpler is the concept here.
Whatever kind of Off Road bicycle you choose a great fit is paramount to your enjoyment. Thats why we take great care to get you on the right size bike that is outfitted to suit your body type and riding style.
