Although both road bikes and mountain bikes are bicycles, they use different venues and different components.

1. Tyre.

The road bike track is flat enough and provides enough adhesion, so the tyres of road racing cars mainly consider the factor of reducing resistance, so the contact surface is very narrow and flat.

2. Handlebar control.

The mountain bike usually has a straight handle and a wide handle, so the handling of the bike will be better and the mountain road will be safer. Road cars generally seek the most speed, so it is necessary to reduce resistance. The handlebars will be narrower.

Mountain bikes are more suitable for harsh environments than road bikes, so when choosing mountain bikes, you need to pay attention to the following points to have a better cycling experience in a harsh environment.

There should be a certain distance between the seat tube and the crotch. When you stand up, there should be a proper gap between the seat tube and its crotch.

To do this, you need to step back as much as you can while riding, making sure you have at least an inch of clearance in the crotch. The importance of this step is to give the frame a wide range of adjustments, which is essential for finding the right saddle height.

An oversized frame can lead to the following accidents:

1. Due to excessive stretching, long cycling brings back pain.

2. Bicycles will become very difficult to control.

Too small a frame may lead to the following accidents:

1. A too-small frame will make it impossible to stretch your legs, and it will be easy to get hurt if you ride for a long time.

2. When standing up, the distance between the crotch and the frame is too large, which will lead to a back injury during a long ride.

But in fact, the most important thing is to get in the car and experience it. Nowadays, many stores also support users to try to ride outside once or twice before buying to test the cycling experience brought by different frames. So please try different bikes in different places.
