mountain bike
Rugged off-road cycle
A mountain bike is a sturdy bicycle designed for off-road terrain, with wide knobby tires, suspension, and multiple gears for climbing and descending rough trails.
The frame geometry prioritizes stability and shock absorption over speed.
Mountain biking as a sport emerged in the 1970s.
The verb means to ride such a bike: We mountain biked through the canyon.
