Off-road cycling is a type of cycling that takes place on unpaved surfaces, such as dirt trails, mountain paths, and rugged terrains. This activity often involves specialized bicycles, known as mountain bikes, which are designed to handle rough conditions with features like wider tires, stronger frames, and better suspension systems. Riders enjoy off-road cycling for its adventurous nature and the opportunity to explore natural landscapes. It can be a solo activity or a group sport, and it promotes physical fitness, balance, and coordination. Popular locations for off-road cycling include national parks and mountain ranges.
