The MTB or Mountain Bike is a bicycle that allows to ride on uneven terrain thanks to wide and serrated tyres. The actual mountain bike (MTB) in English, designed specifically to ride off the road, was born in the 1970s in the United States.
It was in 1979 that Tom Ritchey assisted by Gary Fischer and Charlie Kelly created the first brand of MTB (mountainbikes) and the first production of mountain bike series.
Very soon the enthusiasm for mountain biking became important and numerous international competitions were created: 1984 first Roc d'Azur, 1990 first cross-country and downhill World Championship, 1996 Olympic discipline. This is how MTB models adapted to each type of practice are developed. Today, brands offer different ranges ranging from cheap MTBs to the top-of-the-range model for extreme practices such as downhill.
The practice of mountain biking has evolved enormously since its creation in the 70s and the offer has adapted to the different practices that have emerged: enduro, cross country, descent, all-mountain.... MTBs are distinguished by the size of the wheels: 26, 27.5 or 29 inches, the presence of suspensions at the front and/or rear, the travel and the rigidity and lightness of the frame (made of steel, aluminium, titanium or carbon). Today almost all mountain bikes are equipped with disc brakes.
Semi-rigid MTBs
Full-suspension MTBs
For enduro, downhill, all-mountain and freeride, MTBs have wheels generally in 27.5 inches and are suspended at the front and rear. The frame is light (even heavier than a semi-rigid) and cushioned well, it's comfortable and efficient in technical downhills.
When you make your choice, whether it's a cheap mountain bike with a minimum of equipment or a more sophisticated and therefore more expensive MTB, you'll quickly enjoy the steep trails. A carbon MTB is ideal if you're looking for performance. Men's mountain bikes and women's bikes can be distinguished as the black mountain bike is distinguished from the red mountain bike. Indeed, the geometry of women's mountain bike frames is different.
The rider's equipment can range from a minimalist outfit (cycling shorts, jersey, gloves, helmet and goggles for cross-country for example) to a safety-oriented outfit (back protector, full-face helmets, protections) for the extreme practices.
