A mountain bike is a bicycle designed for mountain biking and other off-road riding either, on dirt trails or other unpaved environments; in contrast, road bicycles are not rugged enough for such terrain. Mountain bikes have fat, knobby tires for extra traction. In recent times front and/or rear suspension along with 29” wheels have been added. Handle bars have also been modified to suit the mountain biker. Most bikes tend to have 26” wheels with either 10-24 speeds.
