All Terrain Bike Performance Hobby

In All Terrain Bike Performance Hobby, the bike is more than a means of transport, it is a real sport. You're looking for a powerful bike, light and efficient. These ATVs have geometries specially designed for your practice, and high-end devices for even more settings, details and comfort.

Brakes ATV Performance

All Terrain Bike Performance Hobby are fitted with disc brakes. They have more power and hydraulic also more progressive (= more you press the brake, the bike slows more: it is thus assayed the brake and brake stronger or weaker depending on the circumstances) than conventional V-type brakes.

Other devices

Some bikes are fitted with tires "tubeless". This helps reduce the risk of punctures because there is more room for air. The tire and the rim constitute an airtight all. The tubeless is still rare in the world of cycling, but is well suited to practical Cross Country.

Transmission

It is also a key element. These ATVs have a lot of speed (usually 27) to have maximum choice and therefore be able to roll over easily wherever you want.

Most mountain bikes have clipless pedals. These pedals are used to hang your bike shoes on for better performance and more efficient pedaling when you go out. They need to have compatible shoes.

Rigid frame or suspended?

In All Terrain Bike Performance Hobby, the main issue is usually whether a suspension (with shock) frame is really more interesting than a rigid frame. Unfortunately there is no exact answer to this question, because it depends entirely on your practice, your commitment and lands you wander.

The rigid frame has the advantage of being lighter, cheaper and more effective on the ground not too rough, since all the energy transmitted into the pedal is transmitted directly into the bike.

The full suspension frame is itself heavier, more expensive, but also has great qualities in terms of comfort and maneuverability in difficult terrain and at full speed.

One of the disadvantages of the hanging frame often put forward is the pumping effect. This means that pedaling a small part of the pedaling power is lost in the compression of the frame (the damper) pedal is therefore less effective with a suspended frame.

To fight against this, B'Twin has developed an anti-pumping system, the NEW system. Downhill, your weight will tend to be on the back of the bike and thus the damping work without any concern for the most comfortable and efficient as possible. Uphill or on the flat, your weight will be on the front of the bike, and then compress shock absorber on the biggest shocks. You will not lose power when pedaling.

The question that must then arise mainly revolves around the trails that you are used to. A rigid frame is perfect for the vast majority of trails and mountain bike trails, while a suspended part is welcome if you drive mainly on difficult terrain (scree, roots, small jumps, fast descents)

What kind of wheels and tires?

The forks have a performance ATV travel (size of the maximum compression) between 80 and 130mm. 100mm is the most common size for this type of bike, as is large enough to keep a minimum of comfort on the land, but not too large either to retain its effectiveness when driving with.

On some full-suspension mountain bike, size is larger (120 or 130mm) for more comfort on the roughest terrain. These forks are sometimes "lockable handlebar" which means that by turning a small wheel on the handlebar, front fork compression becomes a rigid fork is completely blocked. This can be very interesting at large or mounted on flat without roughness (the road, for example) for maximum power and pedaling efficiency.
