Mountain Bike (MTB)
Mountain bike is designed for trail riding and downhill riding. It can also be ridden on the road. They come in many shapes and forms. Some have no suspension, whilst others have front and rear suspension. A mountain bike without rear suspension is usually called a hard tail bike. Most MTBs use 26 inch wheels which is the standard. This size wheel is fairly strong, especially when coupled with the large off road tyres that are fitted to MTBs. An MTB is suited for off road riding and will handle rough terrain quite easy. It is very stable on rough terrain, but is a lot slower to ride on the road when compared to a road bike. It is also suitably geared for climbing hills.
Road Racing Bicycle
Bicycle designed to provide the fastest ride possible on sealed surfaces while conforming to the rules of the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). Their design facilitates high performance riding providing a good aerodynamic position to minimise the effort required at a given speed. They are also designed to permit the rider to ride in close formation with other cyclists, for protection from the wind.
A bit wierd when people modified their mtb to be Road Racing Bicycle..why don't they spend and sacrifies a bunch of money to buy a new Road Racing Bike rather extremely modified or change their mtb part!
