What’s so good about those expensive, top-of-the-line mountain bikes?

1. Strength: In terms of strength, expensive frames generally use more complex technology to make cars of the same material stronger and more durable. Because mountain bikes have to deal with various road conditions, durability is very important. This is not just the frame, but also the wheelset, handlebars, seat post, etc.

2. Weight: The more expensive the car, the lighter it is. Lightweight can give your car an advantage in the competition. For example, carbon fiber materials are lighter, but also more expensive. An aluminum alloy frame only costs a few hundred yuan, while a carbon fiber frame may cost thousands.

3. Performance. Whether the wheels are rolling smoothly, whether the gear shifting is fast, the number of gears, and the braking performance of the brakes all affect the riding performance. The more expensive the car, the better the accessories it usually comes with.

The better the car, the more expensive it is, but the difference between the more expensive cars is smaller, but just like sports competitions, the gap between the first and second place is often very small. The difference is indeed the key to victory or defeat. To choose a mountain bike, you must first become a first-class cyclist, and then choose a good bike after you have the skills. Otherwise, without skills, just changing into a good car will not have much impact on the results.

There is a joke: I weigh nearly 180cm, how much can my performance improve if I choose a carbon fiber frame. The respondent replied: The price of the car you choose does not matter. If you reduce your weight to 140 pounds, it will be more effective than spending millions to buy the top-of-the-line car.
