Mountain bikes are very technical and interesting forms of transportation that just need your power to bring you anywhere you want. The recent popularity of mountain bikes has prompted the production of several magazines and ezines. These publications have reviews of different mountain bike after market parts and mountain bike reviews as well. Although these publications and ezines do not focus entirely on mountain bike reviews they feature many “how to” articles and also cite the best places to go mountain biking in many parts of the world. They also review some mountain bike trails and mountain bike accessories like helmets and bike racks.
Almost every season, manufacturers of mountain bike release a new design or set up of mountain bikes and their parts. Magazines and ezines will then feature mountain bike reviews to let the general biker public know what they think of the bikes and bike parts that will be or have been released. These bikes and parts are usually tested to the limit by the reviewers themselves. The usual basis of mountain bike reviews are the efficiency of the bicycles and the bicycle parts that are to be featured. They usually state whether they function as desired or if they need tweaking. It is their functionality that is usually the first factor that mountain bike reviews dissect.
Another thing that most mountain bike reviews focus on is the lightness of the product or the bike in review. Being a lightweight bike is a big thing for most serious bikers while the newbies do not mind this too much unless they aim for it. Lightness is often cited as a prime factor for mountain bike reviews and that of bike parts. Most professional bikers and serious bikers base their purchases on the functionality of the part or the bike and it lightness.
Of course the price tag of the bike and the bike parts also features in all mountain bike reviews. This is one of the most important factors that readers want to know about the bike and the bike parts. Some bikes are justifiably expensive due to the various top of the line materials used to manufacture the frame and the other components. Some mountain bike reviews are not as accurate or as detailed as you might want them to be since they need space for other bikes and parts. Although, you can rest assured that most of the bike parts and bicycles under review have been tested thoroughly by bikers.
