2011 Kona Tanuki I took the bike to Santos Trailhead today and kicked major *** on the trails. The rear shock @ 90psi performed great. I used the rear lockout once up a hill, the rest… it was fine – just balance yourself over the handlebars. I did the reds in the vortex. We crossed the street and did JON BOWN (brown) the R is missing. I was surprised how much this bike absorbs the roots and rocks. It doesn’t jar as said in the editor reviews on bike review sites. I think it really depends on your shock psi and what path you take. Look up: Santos, Carter Rd, Alafia Trails on youtube. Florida doesn’t have mountains obviously, but it does have some crazy *** steep drops and narrow trails(Carter Rd).

Mountain biking is popular today for a number of reasons. The first is that it can be an exciting and thrilling sport, but another reason is because it can give you a really good workout.

Many people do not realize that mountain biking can be extremely demanding on the body. Cycling over different types of terrain can be a struggle and if you are travelling long distances that can also really tire you out. So if you are just starting out with the sport of mountain biking then you may want to take part in fitness training before you attempt to cycle too far.

Why Take Part in Mountain Bike Fitness Training?

The main reason why you should take part in mountain bike fitness training is because if you don’t you will not benefit from the sport as much as you could do. Your legs in particular will become tired quickly and that will cause you to become uncomfortable if you try to continue riding. Mountain bike fitness training will enable you to build up the strength in your legs and you will develop what are known as “climbing legs”. Climbing legs are basically long, toned and lean legs. They are strong and they can easily deal with any terrain that you have to cycle over.

Your stamina will also be improved through regular mountain bike fitness training. This will enable you to go on longer bike journeys and you could even take advantage of the many mountain bike tours available around the world.

One benefit which many women in particular will like the sound of is that mountain bike training uses the largest muscles in the body, which in turn helps to burn fat. This therefore helps you to lose weight and you will start to become toned in no time. With mountain biking you tend to be going at slower speeds and that gives you a low intensity workout which is excellent for those who cannot put up with a high intensity workout! You also won’t have to worry about gaining too much muscle because of the fact that it is low intensity.

Overall mountain bike fitness training is definitely needed if you want to make the most of your biking experience. It will enable you to build your strength and your stamina, which will in turn allow you to take part in longer, more exciting bike rides. It can also be an excellent form of exercise and as well as helping you out in mountain biking, it can also help you to enjoy other areas of your life too as you will be more active and physically fitter.
