Mountain bikes: an overview

Mountain bikes are robust bicycles that are specially designed for use on unpaved paths and difficult terrain. They are characterized by their sturdy frames, wide tires with a coarse profile and high-quality suspension that absorbs shocks and vibrations on uneven surfaces. The construction and the materials used are designed for maximum resilience and durability.

The first mountain bikes were developed in California in the 1970s and have undergone impressive development since then. Today there are a variety of different models and types that are tailored to the specific requirements and preferences of mountain bikers. From lightweight cross-country bikes to robust downhill bikes and versatile all-mountain bikes, there is a bike to suit every taste and every purpose.

Mountain bikes: selection and purchase

There are a few important aspects to consider when buying a mountain bike. First of all, it is important to choose the right model for the intended purpose. Cross-country bikes, for example, are designed for fast rides on well-maintained paths and easy trails, while downhill bikes are designed for steep and technically demanding descents. All-mountain bikes are a good choice for anyone looking for a versatile bike that performs well both uphill and downhill.

In addition to the model, the size of the bike also plays a decisive role. It should be optimally tailored to the rider's height and proportions in order to ensure a high level of riding comfort and optimal control over the bike. The bike's equipment, such as the quality of the brakes, gears and suspension, should also correspond to personal requirements and the intended purpose. High-quality components make a significant contribution to the bike's performance and longevity.

Mountain bikes: care and maintenance

Regular care and maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and performance of a mountain bike. After every ride, the bike should be cleaned to remove dirt and moisture that can attack the materials and impair the function of the components. It is particularly important to care for the chain, which should be cleaned and oiled regularly to ensure smooth running and a long service life.

In addition to regular cleaning, regular maintenance should also be carried out. This includes checking and, if necessary, replacing wearing parts such as brake pads and tires, checking and adjusting the gears and brakes, and maintaining the suspension.
