The 26 Mountain Bike is basically created for off-road cycling. The term 26 was derived from the size of the wheels that these models commonly use. Whether you are headed out for the rocky mountainside, the steep and sloping, muddy dirt tracks or the tree laden woodlands, this bicycle will definitely get you where you need to go.
The frames and other components of a 26 Mountain Bike is often made out of high grade materials such as titanium,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], carbon fiber, space age alloy and many more and can withstand intense riding conditions off road or on semi-concrete paths. These bikes also use wider rims and tires designed to absorb high impact, provide excellent traction and shock absorption on loose or uneven terrain.
Some of the top brands of a 26 Mountain Bike are Cannondale, Giant, Specialized, Fox, La Pierre, GT,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Trek, Scott and many more. These can also be categorized into 4 subtypes depending on their suspension systems namely,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Hard Tail, Soft Tail, the Fully Rigid,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the Dual or Full Suspension.
These bikes also come with different riding classifications like the Cross Country, Downhill or the Freeride. Bikes for these riding purposes also come with different designs and components for optimum performance. In fact, compared to the usual V-Brakes, with rubber pads or 'shoes' in the past some 26 Mountain Bikes now make use of Disc Brakes similar to those used in motorcycles.
Regardless of which design you want to use or purchase one thing remains true to this extreme pedal powered sport, that is human ingenuity. And innovation has no limits,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even in the cycling world.
In addition, when engaging with this kind of activity, safety is always a priority, thus proper protective gear should be worn such as helmets and pads and preparations should be undertaken to ensure a hassle and injury free experience.
