I don't know what you mean by "road" and "path". Generally speaking, "main road" refers to flat "paved road", that is, asphalt road and concrete slab road. "Path" refers to "unpaved road surface" with potholes, mostly dirt roads, gravel roads and grasslands. This is actually the design purpose of mountain bikes-off-road. . . What kind of road depends on your car and equipment (such as the grade of mountain bike-including whether the frame design and technology are solid, whether the front fork is well shockproof, whether the pedal is designed with a grip, whether the equipment-whether there is a helmet, riding gloves and so on). ), the grade of the car is high (the domestic brand car is generally more than 3000), and the riding equipment is suitable for taking the "path". . . As far as physical energy consumption is concerned, riding 1 km cross-country is roughly equivalent to riding 6 or 7 km flat road or above (depending on the cross-country road surface), and cross-country is more effective for dieters. . . As far as riding technology is concerned, people with strong car control ability, quick brain and limb response and good balance ability are suitable for cross-country, and vice versa. . .

"Trail", off-road (mountain bike jargon is "XC"-off-road). The forest in the photo belongs to the entry-level state of XC. Riding a few hundred meters at a speed of more than ten miles per hour will make you sweat, and riding 5 or 6 kilometers per hour for 25 miles on the road will not make you sweat much. One of the main differences.

This grassland without roads is also the entrance of XC.

The fun of cross-country is also the "duty" of mountain bikes. In Europe and America, people ride mountain bikes mainly for fun. In China, you ride a mountain bike on the road, which is called "mountain horse" in the circle, that is, the mountain bike presses the road. (If you just ride on the road for exercise, it is recommended to use a road bike or a hybrid sports bike, because these two are riding exercises and fitness designed according to the principles of sports science and medical knowledge; Mountain bikes are heavy, have large rolling resistance and wind resistance, and are not suitable for high-speed riding on highways. (It is recommended to search the Internet for road cars to exercise, and learn more about the different application scopes of different types of cars. ).。 Finally, you must wear a helmet when riding!

Road bike: light (80%- 100% lighter than mountain bike, usually 7 kg to 14 kg, think about what it's like to walk with a heavy load of 7 kg on your back), high speed, equipped with a treadmill and a heart rate meter, and it is an exclusive riding tool for sports.

Hybrid sports car (combination of road bike and mountain bike);

Hard-tailed mountain bike:

Soft-tailed mountain bikes: (Different bikes have different uses, such as soft-tailed mountain bikes, which are not suitable for riding roads, but on rugged and complicated roads, there are forest roads and stones, which can be leveled.
