Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about MTB bikes like this one.

What brakes does the Raleigh Poseidon use?

The Raleigh Poseidon is equipped with Mechanical Disc Brakes.

What gearing does the Raleigh Poseidon have?

The Raleigh Poseidon uses Shimano ST-EF500 (3x8 Speed).

Are mountain bikes hard to ride?

Not really - their sturdy build and grippy tyres actually make rough terrain easier to handle than on a standard bike.

Which wheel size should I choose - 26", 27.5", or 29"?

26" suits city riding and light trails, 27.5" is a versatile choice for both city and off-road use, and 29" rolls best over obstacles for serious off-road and downhill riding.

Can I ride an MTB on paved city roads?

Yes - mountain bikes handle city streets fine, though they're not as fast as a road or hybrid bike on smooth pavement.

How much weight can an MTB carry?

Most MTBs handle riders up to roughly 100-120kg, though this varies by brand and model - check the specific bike's listing for exact figures.

What does suspension actually do?

It absorbs shocks from rough terrain, giving a smoother, more controlled ride with better traction on rocky trails or potholed roads.
