O-Road Riding
O road riding usually involves many, many
variables such as constantly changing traction,
obstacles, changes in line of sight, up hill, down
hill, soft surfaces, dry surfaces, wet surfaces.
O road riding requires managing a complex
and constantly changing rider–to-bicycle
feedback loop of traction, weight distribution,
application of power, application of brakes and
steering driven by the conditions one
encounters. The complexity and ever-changing
nature of o road riding requires focus,
concentration, strength, fitness and learning to
read the trail. The art of managing all this while
surrounded by nature makes this a challenging
and wonderful sport.
If you have ridden your mountain bike on a
paved road, or on a gravel or dirt road, you have
done very little in the way of learning to
mountain bike. Learning to ride o road is a
process. It does not automatically occur
because you have a mountain bike. Learning to
ride o road does not come from watching
“extreme” mountain bike videos or TV. In fact
the riders in those films are professional
entertainers and/or daredevils, not teachers.
WARNING
Mountain bike riding is very dierent from
riding a bike on the road.
For starters, it is almost certain you will fall
o. Get training! Join a club and find
experienced people to teach you. It is likely
that your retailer can hook you up with local
rides. Practice and learn to stay in control.
Carefully, progressively, learn to expand
your limits, but always ride within them.
Bike Types
WARNING
Pick a mountain bike for how you will ride.
There are now many dierent kinds of
“mountain bikes.” Cannondale makes
mountain bikes ranging from the light,
nimble rush and scalpels, designed for cross
country (xc) racing, to our rugged, long-
travel freeride bikes. A scalpel is not
designed for freeride! If you try using your
bike for something it was not intended, you
may break it with risk of serious injury,
paralysis or death.
Matching the intended use of any kind of
mountain bike to your expected riding is
import.
