Road Biking vs Mountain Biking

best mountain biking and road biking
Mountain biking and road biking are very different sports. Although the action might seem similar to any unseasoned rider, the differences are stark and there certainly is no bike that is able to cover both equally effectively. But both are super fun and in the city of Denver, you have a plethora of different options for taking up either road biking, mountain biking, or anything else in between. At Bike Repair Denver, we have great biking options in both and we facilitate the needs of all sorts of riders. All we want to do is give you the tools to enjoy yourself the most. So, take a look at our recommendations and find the style that is most going to play to your wants.

Mountain Biking
Mountain biking is a great way for you to really connect with the nature around you and immerse yourself in it all. Colorado is a great place for you to do that, with many rugged, rocky, and rough off-road trails. These require sturdy bikes, with the right wheels, tires, and suspension, to be able to handle the loose ground. It is arguably the more physically demanding of the two and requires familiarity and a reliable bike. However, due to the rough nature of mountain biking, bikes often need more frequent repairs and maintenance if they are going to keep you out on the mountains.

Road Biking
On the other hand road biking steers you far away from the wild paths and moving on smooth asphalt. It is incredibly accessible for riders of any standard and uses a slimmer, more lightweight and lower maintenance bike. These often come a bit cheaper than leading mountain bikes and so, many people opt for this style. At the same time, some of the most famous cycling events in Colorado take place on the road and that is a big motivator for many people. However, these bikes don’t handle well on tough ground and aren’t going to serve you if there isn’t a paved road nearby.

Alternative Options
Both mountain and road biking are linear forms of cycling. But there are many different options in between, if you are looking for something a bit more alternative. If you love the off-road experience and live more for the thrills, a BMX would be the perfect thing. Or, perhaps a casual, commuter, or even an electric one might serve you better on the roads if you are in need of something more every day.

Which is Right for You?
Cycling is a sport than can apply to all. You just need to find the right niche for your style, something, which our team would be glad to facilitate. We offer a range of different bikes and our team is a mix of every different type of rider. That is why you know you are going to be able to relate to one of us and trust in our suggestions. So, make your way to our store and speak to one of our experts about your preferences when riding. We’ll be able to help you find a suitable bike and give you recommendations on how you can really find your passion within cycling.
