Want to leave the asphalt behind and hit the trails? The mountain bike remains one of the most versatile bikes for exploring trails, forest paths, and more technical routes.
At Routes&Roads, we have selected several mountain bike models to meet different needs: a first mountain bike experience, regular rides, sport touring, or more committed practice.
29-inch mountain bikes: stability and comfort on trails
The 29-inch format is very popular in mountain biking today. The large wheels make it easier to overcome small irregularities in the terrain and offer good stability when the route becomes bumpy.
Our selection includes several Welt Rockfall and Welt Ranger in 29 inches, with different configurations to adapt the bike to your level and budget.
The Welt Rockfall 5.0 2024 29, for example, is an interesting option for those looking for a versatile mountain bike for trail and path riding. Other Rockfall models also allow you to choose a different configuration depending on your needs.
27.5 inches: maneuverability and control
27.5-inch wheels remain particularly interesting for cyclists who prioritize maneuverability.
In the Routes&Roads range, several Welt Rockfall and Welt Ranger models are available in this format. They can be particularly suitable for routes where changes of direction are frequent and where an easy-to-control bike is desired.
The choice between 27.5 and 29 inches therefore depends as much on the terrain as on your size, your practice, and your feel on the bike.
To go further: Orbea Occam LT H30
For cyclists looking for a mountain bike more geared towards off-road use, the Orbea Occam LT H30 represents another philosophy.
This model is designed for more committed riding and completes the selection with a high-end option in the category. It is currently available in the Routes&Roads mountain bike collection.
Which mountain bike to choose based on your practice?
For beginners: a hardtail mountain bike like a Welt Rockfall can be an excellent starting point. It allows you to discover paths and trails without immediately investing in a highly specialized bike.
For regular rides: a model equipped with 29-inch wheels can provide greater stability and comfort over long distances.
For sportier routes: it may be worthwhile to move upmarket and opt for more powerful suspension, a more complete drivetrain, and a frame designed for more committed riding.
Disc brakes and suspensions: the equipment that matters
In the current selection, the vast majority of mountain bikes are equipped with hydraulic disc brakes. The collection also includes various suspension solutions, including coil forks and air suspensions.
This equipment plays an important role when the terrain becomes uneven: good suspension improves bike control, while disc brakes make it easier to manage descents and changes of pace.
A selection of mountain bikes for different budgets
The Routes&Roads collection includes mountain bikes at different price points. You'll find Welt Rockfall models around €500 to €850, as well as higher-end models like the Orbea Occam LT H30.
This allows you to choose your adult mountain bike based on your budget, but above all on your actual use.
You don't need a competition mountain bike to enjoy the trails on weekends. Conversely, if you are used to technical trails and long mountain rides, investing in a more powerful model can quickly make a difference.
