What mountain bike is good for the road more than the rough terrain?

kimisizer221 asked:


I have heard that there are mountain bikes that are good for all terrains but perform better on smooth surfaces also. Can anyone recommend a bike that is like this and isn’t overly expensive. I was thinking about getting a Columbia trail head Mt bike. Any other suggestions?

    It will perform well on flat surfaces especially if you can lock out the suspension. It won’t be as good as a road bike on the road of course but if you are going to ride on the road to get to trails like me it’ll be fine.

    Your looking at a high dollar cross country bike if you want it to be good, trek makes a big number of these, so does specialized

    You may want to look at a comfort/path style bike. Knobby tires are a pain on the road.

    Any mountain bike can be converted by putting on slicker, less wide tires. Simple.
