22 OWNER’S MANUAL
WHAT KIND OF BICYCLE IS IT?
Bicycles can be broadly categorised into 4 types:
• Road or Touring
• Mountain or Off Road
• Cross, Hybrid, City or Comfort
• BMX or Freestyle
Bicycles for younger riders use are generally
scaled down versions of adult bicycles including
the step through design. Other bicycles include
tandems, recumbents and folding bicycles. Which
type is your new bicycle?
ROAD OR TOURING
Typically has narrow tyres and drop handlebar.
Variations include bicycles suited for touring,
commuting, sports, and recreational riding.
MOUNTAIN OR OFF ROAD
The Mountain Bicycle is designed to give the rider
maximum control and durability on a wide variety
of harsh terrain. Everything about the Mountain
Bicycle is more rugged. Its frame geometry
provides maximum ground clearance and allows
you to quickly and easily shift your weight to
change the balance of the bicycle as terrain
conditions demand.
