There are nine types of Mountain bikes to choose from:
1 Cross Country: This type of mountain bike is for riding the mountain. They can easily maneuver the slopes and hills. The riders mostly are ready to go for a long journey.
2. Dirt Jumping: The biking involves jumping over the debris, set up for the purpose. The riders usually jump over six debris at a single time.
3. Cyclo Cross: in this, the bikers are supposed to go on and off the road and cross-streams and any obstruction coming in their way.
4) BMX: These are the special bikes as they have smaller wheels, which help the rider to carry out the stunts. It is also used in dirt jumping.
5. Downhill: The biker rides the mountain and going downhill gives them the adventure and enjoyment. This ride is very strong and dangerous.
6. Freeride: The freeride among the bikers is very popular as they are allowed to use any territory they feel fit.
7. Single speed: This type of bike has one gear and not many fittings. The advantage being the chain line is straight and helps in pedaling, and since there are not many fittings, it becomes a less maintenance bike.
8. Trails: These are another feature of mountain bike. There are small wheels and so it becomes easy for the rider to jump over obstacles.
9. Street and urban: These bikers ride in the streets and urban areas and over the mad made barriers.
