Now the bicycle has become a very important part of people's fitness routine from a simple means of transportation, and bicycles are divided into many kinds, the more common professional bike is the kilometer bike and mountain bike, but the price of road bikes are generally a little more expensive than mountain bikes, this is why?
First, look at the transmission, integrated hand shift is certainly more expensive than the mountain bike transmission, followed by the geometric design of the road bike is certainly more complex than the mountain bike, there is also the problem of the weight of the bike, road bikes actually require lower weight compared to mountain bikes, because road bikes are a very high demand for speed sports, so in fact are desperately trying to reduce weight to make the rider can ride faster, and the constant technical weight reduction is The price increases.
Secondly, whether it is a mountain bike or a road bike, when they reach the professional level, they are very specialized in one aspect, of course, they are also very expensive. But the applicable occasion greatly limits their appearance, just like why no one wears skis on the street in winter, can walk, but this is not its applicable occasion. Road bikes pursue speed, mountain bikes pursue passability. On urban paved roads, as long as the rider sheds effort, road bikes are more likely to maintain a higher speed, which then requires higher structural safety for road bikes with relatively aero-slim appearance and lightweight bodywork, thus requiring higher body structure and material design, and naturally costing more.
If we talk about the kit alone, it is true that the road is more expensive than the XC, the kit on many cases is the new generation of XC with the technology of the previous generation of road bike kit, a bit of technology devolution of the meaning. Frame handlebar wheelset these accessories are also said, mainly road bike to the weight and wind resistance of these more sensitive, but if the XC also want to engage in weight reduction to spend money on that is not losing road bike.
Good bikes are not cheap, whether it is mountain or road, choose their favorite, the most suitable for their own, adhere to the cycling movement, their health will certainly have invisible benefits.
