Learning About Mountain Bike Frames

By Kim Masters

A mountain bike depends upon its design, and the design is basically a structure of the frame. In other words we can say that a frame is used as the same way a skeleton is on the human body. Bikes are prepared on the basis of human body.

A variety of frames are available in different material for the bike to full fill different purpose which directly affect the performance of the bike and weight of the bike. Steel and aluminum frames are available which are heavier and lighter and alloys also affect the weighting capacity of the bike. These frames are mending for fast riding and are finished gently for better performance on the road.

For tracks located in the mountain areas, the frames used in bikes to ride in those areas are made from aluminum due to its specific capability of flexibility and more lighter in weight. The aluminum used in those bikes which are made for free riding and down hill biking and these frames can also hold a lot of rough handling.

The mountain bike becomes difficult to lift and balance at slower speed when its main frame is larger in size and made up from lighter aluminum. These frames can deliver more speed and can load more weight also have a center of gravity much higher from the ground. Therefore the size of the frame has a direct relation with the performance of the bike.

In contrast to that, bikes with smaller frames will be much lighter and easier to handle while maneuvering in through a dirt track or jumping across a ditch. Therefore it is better to get a bike with a smaller frame if free riding is your aim.

Typically, a mountain bike has to bear more suspension challenges while used in mountaineer tracks. Inclusion of rear suspension holds a complex frame. However, if a hard tail is used, the bike will not need a complicated frame and will run more smoothly.

Before you jump forward to a new bike you must get yourself familiar with different types of frames used in the mountain bikes, since the frame plays an important role in the performance of the bike like a human heart plays a vital rule in the functions of human body.
