@SteelHands is this bike use to ride in rugged mountrain? is this light weight bike?
SteelHands61-69, M
I wouldn't recommend it for heavy trail use. Can go on the trails occasionally though. Frame is alloy and it's built medium but not ultra light. The components it has are not designed for Rocky arboring.

However-

As a commuter bike in an area with lots of steep hills occasional less than optimal surfaces, it's got a good balance of climbing power and shock tolerance with minimal ride fatigue. Bearings are good for downhill coast, and the brakes will stop on a dime.

@SteelHands Thank you.
What is the optimam weight range of mtb, we can use for hill climbing. on just rugged roads and we can ride more distance

@curiousaboy I doubt there is one since the issue is more about structural integrity. Obviously thicker tubes in light alloys are best. That frame height and stand over clearance will vary that.

For mountaining you want a quality set of hydraulic disk brakes. Even though these can add weight they have more resistance to mud wet leaves and dust and braking control is better. As is non spoke mag wheels that are far less likely to be damaged by rocks and sticks. There are other considerations such as shock absorption frames and forks, seats and grips that are better for harder trail use as well.

@SteelHands okay.

@curiousaboy actually haven't been on a mountain grade bike in years. It's a fun hobby if you are young and have an experienced group. I'm way past my prime for that by now in my 60s.
