Mountain (downhill/freeride)

— a specialized type of mountain bike designed for high-speed downhill ride. Types of such a ride differ in the type of surface: downhill uses pre-prepared tracks, while more extreme freeride is carried out on complete off-road, and enduro – on the most difficult sections. However, for all varieties of bicycles, the characteristic features are common: these are wide wheels and heavy weight. The latter is due to the reinforced design: during downhill ride, the weight does not play a decisive role, but the loads are very high, which requires increased strength and maximum reliability of all components. There is usually only one gear selector – only on the cassette (rear), respectively, there are few speeds. But the suspension on both wheels is almost mandatory.
