Mountain bikes were originally designed for primarily off-road riding, but many hybrid models exist today which allow the rider to ride both on- and off-road. Many mountain bikes contain front and rear suspension components that allow them to withstand the bumps and shocks of very uneven terrain without transmitting the shock to the rider. This allows the rider to maintain control of the bike in very adverse terrain conditions. As with road bikes, they range in price from a few hundred dollars to over $10,000.
