Why can t I see a car with shock resistance in an Olympic mountain bike race?

Spring-loaded shocks are not suitable for XC type mountain races due to their weight, and are usually used for longer travel on more strenuous rides such as freerides or downhills.

The frames seen in the race are generally hard-tailed, and there are a few soft-tails such as Canon Dell, Merida, and Lightning, and if I'm not mistaken, these softtails use Fox air shock absorbers.

The hard-tail car is characterized by light weight and no unloading force when pedaling, while the above soft-tail cars can even reach within 10kg of the whole vehicle.

Of course, the front shock is a must, and I don't see a rider racing with a hard fork.

According to conservative estimates, the average of the participating vehicles should be around 5W.

Specific** can be found in.

The suspension you are talking about is the middle shock of those messy special-shaped cars in the civilian car market, which is equivalent to scrap iron, and it is very hard to ride. The mountain bike that is really equipped with the shock is used to play mountain downhill, **5000+.

The Olympic mountain bikes are all standard mountain bikes, with only fork suspension. They are all top-notch race cars, costing 50,000 - infinite, very good, very expensive...

Hehe: It looks like you don't ride many mountain bikes. If you've ever ridden a lap of a spring bike and a hardtail, you know what a good bike is! For a car with a rear shock absorber, when pedaling hard, the shock absorber will cancel out part of the pedaling force, and there is no such problem for a car with an overall frame!

I really don't know what brand it is, but even if I know it, it is estimated that it is not sold in China.

The venue is different, the car is different.

Yes, because mountain bikes and road bikes are raced in open conditions, brakes are necessary, and the shifting system is of course standard.

But track bikes, because the race environment is closed, have no brakes, and no shifting system.

Of course, the transmission is not the same It depends on you if you often go out to buy a public run, and if you ride more in the city (in the mountains), you can buy a mountain (I personally feel that the mountains are more practical). 890 Well, in the local.

It may be injured or broken, or it may be very close to the end of this slope, and it is better to push it up and save time and time when you get on the bike and ride again.

The road conditions will definitely be bad where you will fall, and it will be difficult to start, so choose some better road conditions before starting. On the contrary, it will save time.

1.Shock absorber.

2.Of course, it's shock absorption, reducing bumps.

3.A few hundred dollars for a civilian car can only achieve the purpose of comfort.

Some of the games must be shock absorbed, because the strength is too great, no shock absorber is easy to be injured, overturned, the speed can not be fast, the Olympics to see the kind of mountain competition called XC, generally only the front shock absorber, there are also increase the rear shock absorber, but that is not for shock absorption, XC car added rear shock absorber is mostly for the grip of the rear wheel, so that the rear wheel use is kept on the ground (you may not understand this if you have not crossed the field).

The role of the mountain bike shock fork:

When riding on bumpy roads, it reduces frame vibration amplitude for a smoother ride and improved handling. It can also improve the comfort of riding and avoid excessive vibration that will take your hands off the handlebars and improve safety. When riding mountain roads or potholes, it is a smart idea to install a shock-absorbing fork on a mountain bike.

Comfort is certain and generally known.

Another function is to keep the front wheels sticking to the ground during bumps, so that the direction can be guided.

As the name suggests, 'mountain bikes' are for riding mountain roads, and of course they are comfortable with shock absorption. In the city, the road is wasted.

In general, cross-country in international competitions is called XC, such as in the Olympic mountain bike race. This is a relatively low level of off-roading, and can be used by ordinary mountain bikes, including entry-level mountain bikes (such as Giant ATX7+, Duke Merida).

This mountain bike pays more attention to efficiency and neglects comfort, weighs less than 15 kg (competition class can be up to 10 kg), fork formation is under 100, and the hardtail frame.

This type of mountain bike generally has a rear suspension that takes into account comfort and efficiency, weighs 14-16 kg, and the fork is generally adjustable travel.

A little bigger than AM, there will be actions such as flying dirt bags in many **, this kind of car is fr, free riding, it can pass almost any terrain, of course, it will be more laborious and painful when climbing.

Very long suspension travel and a lean-back riding position are characteristic of the FR, which is generally in the 16-20 kg range.

The DH at the end is actually not as good as the FR, but it has a super long suspension travel and a softly tuned suspension, which is specially designed for downhill and is also one of the mountain bike competitions.

Search for "Olympic mountain bike" in "**", and you can find some XC's **, which is called light off-road. Entry-level cars can do such actions, of course, if your frame is aluminum alloy, it is recommended that you only use it for 3-5 years, because the metal fatigue period of aluminum alloy is 5 years, and 3 years of high-intensity use will be about the same.

Happy riding!

Running on country roads, there are no big ups and downs on the road, and this kind of thing is considered light off-road, and the entry-level can bear it. Have you ever seen a mountain bike downhill? DH, translated into English is called falling mountain, and that kind is called mountain bike.

The kind of off-road vehicles that you can see many people riding in schools is not a concept. You may be confused.

Light off-road generally refers to riding on the road with potholes, heavy is to rush the slope on the mountain road in bad road conditions, the slope is larger, and the ox cart does not dare to go down the kind of slope, the hard tail car (entry level) can withstand a greater degree of off-road, the advantage of the soft tail is that the off-road shock absorption effect is much better, and the strength of the two is relatively good for the hard tail.

The London Olympic champion is Kuhavey, who uses the Lightning Epic, which is certainly the top-of-the-line carbon fiber version of ......

There should be something to sell in China.

You wouldn't want to buy one, would you?

This one is very professional, I guess you can't buy it, they are all custom-made and specially designed.

The fork suspension needs to be adjusted, and there is a button on the fork that adjusts the suspension. If you don't understand, it's best to go to a specialty store.

What mountain bike suspension forks do:

Suspension: The front fork is compressed during riding to reach the pole and rebounds to the original length (the speed of the rebound is affected by damping), and constantly repeats to reduce the force on the rider's body, reduce bumps, and hundreds of civilian vehicles can only achieve the purpose of comfort; Some of the games must be shock absorbed, because the strength is too great, no shock absorber is easy to be injured, overturned, the speed can not be fast, the Olympics to see the kind of mountain race called XC, generally only the front shock absorber, there are also increase the rear shock absorber, but that is not for shock absorption, XC car added rear shock absorber is mostly for the grip of the rear wheel, so that the rear wheel is used to keep on the ground.

Take a look at your car in the picture above, now the shock absorbers are mainly divided into spring suspension, hydraulic suspension, and pneumatic suspension. There are also many suspension functions, lockout, preload, stroke adjustment, rebound adjustment, end drag increase, etc., so it depends on your car.

If it's a lock, open the lock, if not, just put some lubricating oil and press the brake to press more pressure.

Maybe your mountain bike is cheap, around 500, right?

Is it locked ? There is something on the right side of the fork that locks the full fork, and it doesn't work when it's locked.

The brand of bicycles used by each team is different, the Chinese track cycling team uses the LOOK brand, and the Chinese mountain bike team uses the OYEA brand.

In 1896, cycling was included in the official competition program. The Olympic cycling competition is divided into four sub-events: track, road, mountain bike and BMX, with a total of 18 events for men and women.

The brand and debugging of the car are determined according to each driver, it should be said that it is different, but there is a unified standard, and most of the brands used are Bianchi, Trek, Colnago, Cannondale, and Cervelo, which cost 10W-20W.

The difference in the level of the riders is mainly in terms of experience, endurance and other factors of their own.

There are no prescribed Bianchi, Cervelo, Trek, Cannondale, Colnago, and Giant and Merida, but these two are less.

Italy: Bianchi, Pinarello Colnago, USA, Trek Cannondale, Specialized, Canada, Cervelo

French time look

Orbea, Spain

Swiss BMC

The cost is 100,000-200,000 ???

Is it really that expensive??? Have you ever been to a factory? Have you ever seen the production process of a car?!
