Mountain cycling is all about steering a mountain cycle over rocky tracks and around boulder-strewn paths. It's no secret that mountain bikers love trails and more trails! To tackle the trails, the requirements are physical strength, stamina and a strong mountain cycle. Mountain bikes or ATBs (all-terrain bikes) feature a frame and fork that are rugged. Their frames are often built of aluminium so they are lightweight and stiff, making them efficient to ride.
