MTB and Road Bikes

Choosing a mountain bike isn't easy, especially since the market has continued to churn out new mountain bikes in recent years. There are so many possible choices, it's difficult to have clear ideas and make the right decision. Each brand, in fact, offers different models for various disciplines (Enduro, XC, DH, etc.), each with its own distinctive characteristics. How do you choose your mountain bike? Answering this question isn't simple; you need to take several factors into consideration: how we like to ride, our level of preparation, whether we participate in races and what kind, how much climbing we do on average, whether we start directly on dirt roads or do a lot of asphalt, the number of weekly rides, our technical ability, and, above all, what discipline we're going to do. For example, those who practice downhill will need bikes with long-travel shock absorbers—a world unto itself. Enduro, on the other hand, is halfway between DH and Cross-Country: the bike still has very good suspension, but the frame is less extreme than that of Downhill. Obviously, these are still bikes almost exclusively for downhill riding, but it's also possible to tackle some nice climbs. In the case of XC (Cross-Country), we're talking about MTBs with a front-wheel (hardtail) or full-suspension (full-suspension) frame. The weight of the mountain bike is important to keep in mind, which is crucial for racers, but less so for the advanced amateur. Choosing the right wheel diameter is also essential: a wide, downhill tire is more stable, but increases the effort required on climbs. Wheel diameter is crucial: a 26-inch wheel responds completely differently than a 29er, while a full-suspension/full-suspension bike is easier to ride than a hardtail, but it's heavier. As you can well understand, choosing a bike can be very complicated, so we at Pro-M and Pro-M Store are happy to assist you in your choice, guiding you toward the perfect bike to meet your needs. We offer a vast assortment of MTBs for different disciplines and with different wheel diameters from the best brands on the market: Specialized, Mondraker, Rocky Mountain, Charge, Intense, Santa Cruz, Yeti, Salsa, and Surly. Don't forget the wide selection of e-bikes for MTB disciplines and kids' bikes to introduce your little ones to the world of two wheels. It's also worth remembering that road and racing bikes are designed to be ultra-efficient and high-performance on the road. However, there are numerous differences between these bikes, which meet different practices and expectations, making it very difficult to make a precise choice. In recent years, the bicycle industry has made exceptional progress in researching new technologies and materials. Indeed, bikes are studied down to the smallest detail to reduce weight and increase performance. The most important elements to consider are the frame, groupset, and wheels, as they provide the greatest impact in terms of performance and sensation.
