Designed to handle anything, mountain bikes will help take you anywhere from mountain trails, dirt roads, and even through the snow. They come in various wheel sizes and have tires designed to give you traction in a variety of conditions.
Suspension is key for mountain bikes, minimizing the impact that you feel when riding over rocks and roots. Front suspension bikes (aka Hardtails) are light, nimble and easy to maintain. Full Suspension bikes have suspension in the front and rear to allow you to tackle more technical terrain with confidence.

Mountain Bike Essentials
Cross-Country
Cross country bikes (sometimes called XC bikes) are nimble, more efficient and lighter. These bikes can tackle climbs with less effort and support longer faster rides with less fatigue. They have shorter travel suspension (generally up to 110mm) making these bikes less capable on fast aggressive downhills. This also leads to a firmer less forgiving ride on more rugged terrain.
Best for:
- Gravel / Dirt Roads
- Smooth - Moderate Dirt Trails

Downcountry

Best for:
- Gravel / Dirt Roads
- Smooth - Rugged Dirt Trails

Fat Bike
Fat bikes can venture to places other bikes can't. Originally designed to be ridden on snow and sand, these bikes offer incredible grip on any terrain. Their extra wide tires allow them to float on top of soft terrain, where other bikes would quickly sink and get stuck. They tend to be heavier (due to their oversized components) and are limited on technical descents.
Best for:
- Gravel / Dirt Roads
- Smooth - Moderate Dirt Trails
- Soft Terrain (Snow, Sand)
