The difference between mountain bike and road bike!
①Tire: We take the road bike 700C (referring to the 700mm wheel diameter (including the outer tire), the specification standard of mainstream road bikes) as an example, while the standard mountain bike has a 26-inch wheel diameter. The tires of mountain bikes are usually 19 More than millimeters, road bikes are mostly below 20 millimeters. To popularize it, road bikes are generally calculated by XXXC (C=mm), while mountain bikes are calculated by XXX inches
②Handlebar control parts: In order to be able to ride on rugged mountainous terrain, the handlebars of mountain bikes are generally wider in order to achieve stable handling and comfort. For road bikes, the handlebars are relatively narrow in order to pursue speed and reduce wind resistance. Back camber.
③Frame: Mountain bikes pay more attention to durability on bumpy roads, so the axles are thicker and stronger, while the focus of road bikes is pedal rigidity.
④Brake: Mountain bikes use brakes with high force and strong braking force. The most common ones are disc brakes. In addition to high braking force requirements for road bikes, it is more important to pursue lightness and stability.
⑤Weight: The weight of mountain bikes during the competition can reach 12.5Kg, while the maximum limit of road bikes is 10.5Kg. Of course, the heavier the bike, the more it will consume the rider’s physical strength.
