For instance, you might need to climb and descend on various types of terrain, ranging from open fire roads to tight, twisty single track in the bush.
Specially designed Cross-Country Mountain Bikes tend to have only a small amount of suspension, and they are lightweight. The front suspension is anywhere from 60-120mm of travel. Travel is the amount of movement that the shock can absorb. In other words, the more travel you have, the smoother the bumps are. This is achieved through the use of lightweight materials and suspension is provided by air shocks. Cross-Country Mountain Bikes are focused on minimizing the pedaling effort as much as possible.
