1. The tires are narrower than ordinary bicycles, and the tire pressure can reach more than100-200 psi (PoundSpersquareinch), so the rolling resistance when driving is much smaller than that of mountain bikes.
2. The tooth ratio between the toothed plate and the flywheel is very large, which can reach 53: 1 1 or even higher.
3. Nowadays, road bicycles use a lot of new materials, such as titanium alloy, carbon fiber and advanced aluminum alloy. Therefore, the weight of road bicycles is very light, which can reach less than 5kg, but the racing car stipulated by the International Self-help Federation cannot be less than 6.8kg.
4. Generally, tires are made of very hard materials, which is convenient for athletes to exert their strength. This is very different from mountain bike.
