MTB Tech Talk | Mountain Bike Geometry

MTB Tech Talk | Mountain Bike Geometry

In this episode, BikeRadar's technical editor Tom Marvin and technical writer Seb Stott cover the somewhat huge topic of mountain bike geometry. While Tom advocates for slightly 'smaller' bikes, Seb is definitely a fan of the super long and slack. Geometry is key in dictating how a bike rides - long, slack bikes tend to be calm, confident and fast, whereas shorter bikes might be a touch more agile and involving to ride. There's no right or wrong, but that's not to say that Tom and Seb don't have opinions on the subject. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
