off-road bike
Rugged terrain bicycle
An off-road bike is a bicycle or motorcycle designed for unpaved terrain—dirt trails, gravel paths, rocky ground, or wilderness.
Features typically include knobby tires for traction, sturdy suspension, and reinforced frames.
Mountain bikes are the most common bicycle type; dirt bikes and dual-sport motorcycles are motorized versions.
We rented off-road bikes and spent the day on forest trails.
