What is a "mountain bike"?
A mountain bike is a type of bicycle designed for off-road riding, especially on rough trails, dirt paths, or uneven surfaces. It has wide, textured tires that provide better grip and stability on rocky or bumpy terrain. Mountain bikes are built with strong frames and suspension systems to absorb shocks and make rides smoother over rough ground. They also have wide handlebars, a lower gear system for climbing steep hills, and a sturdy build to handle challenging environments. Mountain bikes are commonly used for outdoor adventures, trail riding, and cross-country events.
