자전거 종류 5 bike types – MTB, Road, Hybrid, Minivelo, Fixie

자전거 종류hello. This is Ai Kujun.

In addition to cars, I also love bicycles. Riding a bike is my hobby. So today, I would like to introduce you to the types of bicycles.

Bikes can be divided into 5 main categories:

In fact, there are many types of MTB and road, but I will cover them in more detail in another post. In this post, you can find out what types of bikes are available and what the main features of each are.

Mountain Terrain Bike
2018 Canyon Torque CF 9.0 Pro

MTB is a mountain bike that can be safely ridden on unpaved roads and mountainous terrain, not on paved roads.

It can be said that the stability, riding comfort, and durability of the bike are greatly enhanced.

characteristic
– Big and thick tires (stable, but difficult to enjoy the feeling of speed)
– Shock absorber (suspension)
– Straight handle (easy to change direction)

Road Bike (Cycle)
Specialized’s flagship road bike, the S-Works Tarmac SL7

Bikes designed to go fast
Unlike MTB, it is built to pursue speed on paved roads.
Most people who enjoy cycling will mainly drive road bikes. Perfect for enjoying really fast speeds. However, you should be fully aware that there are risks as fast as it is fast.

characteristic
– Thin tires (good for speed but poor durability)
– Light weight (5~10kg, 2~3kg for expensive products)
– The handle is lower than the saddle height (to minimize air resistance by crouching down)
– Dedicated handlebar called drop bar (suitable for crouching)

Hybrid Bike
3000 reel hybrid bike

This is a bike that takes advantage of only the strengths of MTB and road bikes. A bike designed for everyday use and city riding.
It can be said that it is a bicycle that utilizes the stability of MTB + the speed of road. There are various types of hybrid bikes, and their designs vary widely depending on which side you prefer between MTB and road. You can choose the bike that best suits your riding habits and riding conditions.

characteristic
– Straight handlebars of MTB bikes
– Thin and large tires on road bikes

Minivelo
dahon bicycle

A combination of mini meaning small and velo meaning wheel in French.
A mini velo is a small bicycle that uses tires with a wheel diameter of 20 inches or less.
It is often used as a lifestyle bicycle. A big plus is that it is easy to get on and off. It is a bike that many women are looking for, perhaps because of its small and elegant design.

Minivelo bikes are also very diverse from company to company.

characteristic
– Stable driving with low center of gravity
– As the tire is small, the number of rotations of the tire is high, so the tire wears out quickly
– Small wheels, not easy to get up to speed

fixed gear bike

Bicycles with fixed gear ratios
It’s easy to think of it as a bicycle without a gear shifter.
Also, unlike ordinary bicycles, the rear wheel and gearwheel are fixed, so you can reverse by turning the pedal backwards.
Fixie bikes have a mania because of the charm of fixie bikes. It’s good to ride on flat ground, but it has the downside that it is very difficult to ride uphill.

characteristic
– No gear shifting
– Reversing is also possible

In addition, there are various bicycles such as two-person bicycles and electric bicycles, but it is not too difficult to get started with bicycles even if you know only the most representative types of bicycles.

More about the different types of bikes.

thank you
