Do All Mountain Bikes Have Gears? Exploring the World of Cycling Technology
Most mountain bikes have gears, but not all of them. Some single speed mountain bikes and fat-tire bikes may not have gears. However, most riders prefer having multiple gears to help them adjust to different terrain and pedaling conditions. The gears make it easier to climb uphill or ride through rough terrain, and also help riders to maintain a consistent speed on flat or downhill sections.
