Mountain bikes (MTB) are a great bike for those people looking for a bike which can handle a bit of dirt, knocks and can be used in a variety of settings. You can cycle on the road, path or trail and the further off the smooth road surface you go – the more you will use your core and upper body to stabilise the bike in rougher terrain.
It is a great way to include your whole family in a ride. Trail riding can be challenging or easy depending on the area and is great for improving your bike handling skills if you are already a skilled cyclist.
