a 2006 Tete de Course, designed for road racing, with a head angle that varies from 71.25° to 74°, depending on frame size. Due to front fork suspension, modern mountain bikes—as opposed to road bikes—tend to have slacker head tube angles, generally around 70°, although they can be as low as 62° (depending on frame geometry setting).

The wheel size is sometimes erroneously called "650B" [8] [9] as a "marketing term" by some manufacturers for their 27.5", but the 650B size has traditionally been a designation for a 26 inch diameter (ISO ~ 40-584 demi-ballon tire) using the same ISO 584 mm rim [10] used by French tandems, Porteurs and touring bicycles.
Bikes exist that blur the distinction by combining attributes of both, however. One example of this is a Monstercross bike, often using a standard mountain bike frame intended for use with 26″ wheels with 700c [citation needed] wheels and 700 × 38c-45c tires, disc or cantilever brakes, MTB or cross gearing, and the drop bars of a cyclocross ...
Mountain bicycle gearing is often very wide-ranging, from very low ratios to mid ratios, typically with 9 to 28 gears, although some riders prefer the mechanical simplicity and ease of maintenance of single-speed mountain bikes. 29ers are mountain bikes that are built to use 700C or ISO 622 mm wheels. 27.5 bikes are mountain bikes that are ...

2020 full suspension mountain bike. A mountain bike (MTB [1]) or mountain bicycle is a bicycle designed for off-road cycling. Mountain bikes share some similarities with other bicycles, but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain, which often makes them heavier, more complex and less efficient on smooth surfaces.

The most common location for a second frame-mounted bottle cage is on the front side of the seat tube. Small bikes and mountain bikes with rear suspension often do not have enough room for two bottle cages inside the main frame triangle. Some mountain bikes have highly sloped top tubes that limit the size of bottles mounted inside the triangle.
