Raleigh Mountain Bikes: Frames, Cycles, Racing And Bikes

Published: February 27, 2007
Raleigh mountain bikes are just another way-point on a long storied climb to the top for not only Raleigh mountain bikes, but for their entire line of bicycles. Although Raleigh mountain bikes are what most people associate with the Raleigh name today, the early Raleigh product line featured motorized bikes and three-wheeled cars.
Raleigh mountain bikes of today and Raleigh bicycles of the early twentieth century share little in common, but they all share cutting edge design and Raleigh's commitment to innovation. Perhaps that is why, in less than a century, Raleigh bikes are the "world's largest producers of two wheeled personal transport.”
The trademark of Raleigh bicycles that has carried over to Raleigh mountain bikes are their unique bike frames. Initially marketed as "oversized but not overweight,” Raleigh mountain bike frames feature oversized, duty-specific, tubing. The durability and design of Raleigh mountain bikes make them a favorite of the fledgling mountain biking community.
In the two decades that Raleigh mountain bikes have been produced, their quality, innovation and design make the Raleigh name synonymous with mountain bike racing, but also make Raleigh an institution in road racing, touring, all-terrain riding, and casual biking. The 2007 Raleigh mountain bikes line features performance models like the Mojave 8.0 and Mojave 5.5, as well as the XXIX+G and XXIX. Raleigh mountain bikes also include recreational models like the Mojave 5.0, Mojave 4.5, Mojave 4.0, and Mojave 2.0. Raleigh mountain bikes feature CROMO frames, forks from Rock Shox and SR Suntour, and Truvativ cranksets. Front dérailleurs and rear dérailleurs from Shimono, Avid brakes and stems, and Easton handlebars round out many Raleigh mountain bikes.
For those that may prefer more tame landscapes than the racing circuit, Raleigh mountain bikes may not be the answer. Instead of one of many Raleigh mountain bikes, Raleigh offers many road, hybrid, and performance comfort road bikes. Raleigh road bikes include the performance oriented Competition, SuperCourse and Grand Prix, recreation minded road bikes Grand Sport and Sport, and geared for speed Raleigh cycles like the Rush Hour and Rush Hour Pro. Featuring a mix of "simplicity, speed and comfort,” hybrid Raleigh such as the Passage line guarantee their riders will "cruise faster and farther than you ever thought possible.” The hybrid line of Raleigh bikes feature the design of performance comfort road bikes like the Cadent and Cadent Carbon, and the easy ride of comfort Raleighs like the Venture and Gruv.
Regardless of how one views the world from the seat of a two-wheeler, Raleigh cycles are sure to have a perfect match. For over a century, Raleigh has left an indelible mark on cycling, be it as the bicycle of choice for derbies throughout the British Isles, the ride of choice for the Tour De France, or even the workhorse of the Mountain States Cup. Even if a Raleigh serves as a weekend getaway, a healthy alternative to the subway, or a casual suburban ride, owning a Raleigh is owning a part of a bicycling legacy.
