The materials of mountain bikes mainly include aluminum alloy, carbon fiber and titanium alloy.
Aluminum alloy
Aluminum alloy frames are widely popular for their lightness, durability and easy maintenance. Aluminum alloy frames have good handling, acceleration and climbing performance, but their vibration absorption is average. Aluminum alloy will not rust, and it is very easy to maintain, suitable for daily riding and long-distance travel.
Carbon fiber
Carbon fiber frames are known for their high strength and lightness, and can provide an excellent riding experience. Carbon fiber frames are light, strong, and rigid, suitable for riders who pursue high performance. However, the surface hardness of carbon fiber frames is relatively low, requiring careful care, and the price is relatively high.
Titanium alloy
Titanium alloy frames have very good elasticity and comfort, suitable for riders who pursue a comfortable riding experience. Titanium alloy is light, strong, and has memory, and can have an almost unlimited service life within its own deformation range.
Other materials
In addition, there are some other materials such as high carbon steel, which have very good vibration absorption, but are heavier and suitable for riders who need good vibration absorption.
