MTB
Bikes for Gettin' Down.
Dirt + mixed terrain bike = perfect match. Having evolved in rough terrain, the shared chromosome is wider handlebars and wider tire clearances than their commuter and drop-bar cousins. #dirtchurch
Hardtails
No rear shocks. Generally lighter, simpler, and easier to maintain. Great for local riding.
Urban MTBs
Rigid. No front or rear suspension. Maximum simplicity. Shreddy. Ride it to work. Pedal it to the trail. Shred some laps. Cruise home. Sleep. Repeat.
