Mountain Bike
From WikiPedalia
"Mountain bike" (MTB) is the currently-preferred term for bicycles made for off-road use. Mountain bikes use 559 mm wheels, or "29er" wheels which are 622mm wheels with wide tires; have at least 15 speeds, and usually have cantilever brakes or disc brakes. There was an attempt to make a copyright out of "MountainBike", but the term has become generic. Some have tried to promote the term "All Terrain Bike" (ATB) as an alternative, or to designate some subtle variant of the mountain bike, but this term has largely fallen into disuse.
The mountain bike is in many ways a hybrid design, a cross between a BMX bicycle and a touring bicycle.
