What is an MTB Trail?
It’s what most mountain bike rides with mates should be. Conserving energy on the climbs and enjoying mildly technical singletrack descents.
‘Trails’ is a broad term for a specific mountain biking location. But fundamentally, it refers to singletrack trails.1

Which cycle is best MTB or road bike?
While you can certainly ride a mountain bike on paved surfaces, you really can’t take a road bike off the pavement. Mountain bikes are perfect for any riding being done off of paved surfaces. This includes muddy or rocky singletrack trails, dirt roads, gravel paths, and other rugged terrains.
Is MTB harder than road cycling?
Both can be easy or hard — one of the great advantages of cycling is the available wide range of difficulty. Roughly speaking, MTB focuses on technical skills, coordination, and short forceful efforts, while road cycling focuses on endurance and long-term efforts.
Can a MTB be as fast as a road bike?
A road bicycle is 10 to 30% faster than a mountain bike and is 15% faster on average at the same power output on smooth, paved surfaces. Riding posture, rolling resistance, frame geometry, and weight are the main reasons for road bikes being faster with the same level of effort.
How many gears does a mountain bike have?
Bikes went from 15 gears, to 18, 24, 27, and then 30. It’s now going back the other way. All high-end mountain bikes are now equipped with 12 gears, and more and more bikes in the mid-range price spectrum are coming with 10 or 11 gears.
