Mountain biking is a sport of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain, using specially designed mountain bikes.

Mountain biking can generally be broken down into multiple categories: cross country, trail riding, all mountain (also referred to as “Enduro”), downhill, freeride and dirt jumping. However, the majority of mountain biking falls into the categories of Trail and Cross Country riding styles.
