Mountain Bike Vs Hybrid Speed
Trek fx 3 is a workhorse hybrid bike that offers the speed of a road bike the versatility of a city bike and the comfort of a fitness bike.
Mountain bike vs hybrid speed. This discrepancy in speed results from the weight of the bikes the position of the riders and other basic differences in construction. Fyi over a 2 3 mile stretch of hilly curvy paved trail today an experienced road cyclist did it about 30 seconds faster than me on my mtb 26 2 2 tsali tires inflated to just under 40psi. Great for visibility and control. However if you put the mountain bike on the same touraine i e a smooth paved trail the difference in speeds between mtb and road bike should be closer.
Thicker than a road bike for stability thinner and lighter than a mountain bike handlebars. Mountain bikes can scramble over roots and rocks that would stop a road bike in its tracks but when it comes to pavement a road bike will take the lead every time. Upright for comfort terrain. They have smooth tyres for high speed on road but are comfortable and strong enough for gravel cycle paths and green lanes.
A lightweight alpha gold aluminum frame a carbon fork and a performance drivetrain make it a speedy and versatile bike. A hybrid is a cross between a mountain bike and a touring bike. Raise the speed to 14 to 15 9 mph and you ll burn 372 mph in the same amount of time. Hybrids have a more upright riding position.
A few issues ago i had a first ride on a whistle crow which looked just like a typical hybrid bicycle. It had flat handlebars like a mountain bike but thin tyres like a road or touring cycle. Best thought of as the halfway point between a road bike and a mountain bike a hybrid takes the comfy riding position of a mountain bike and pairs it with a lighter frame and fast rolling wheels. Riding a hybrid bike for 30 minutes at 12 to 13 9 mph will burn approximately 298 calories for a 155 pound individual.
