If you have even the slightest idea about bikes, you will very well know that there are many different types of bikes out there. Mountain bikes, road bikes, fixies, hybrids and what not. Technology and craftsmanship have given us the opportunity to ride these beautiful beasts. When it comes to the question of what type of bike you should be riding on your bikepacking trip, there are surely a few points to consider and think beforehand.
Truth be told, you can take any type of bicycle you want to. However, you will need to keep in mind how the terrain on your destination route will be. Chose your ride accordingly. If you would ask us, we would suggest you take a mountain bike. No matter what your destination might be. And that is because they will be the safest option for you. You will not need to worry much about the roads as mountain bikes can handle it all. You may not be able to ride as fast on it compared to a road bike. But then again, that’s not really a major problem. Also, they will be much easier to maintain and deal in case your bike faces any problem on the road.
