Whether it is a mountain bike or a road bike, mountain climbing is an important factor directly related to riding speed.

Factor 1. Lose some weight

Climbing strength and power/volume ratio. This is just an ideal value. It's better to drop your own weight than to spend a fortune to lighten the weight of your bike. One of the most effective ways is to start recording the foods you eat each day. If you log everything you eat, you're less likely to eat unnecessary junk food, and with consistent training, you'll quickly become a skinny hill-climbing machine.

Factor 2. Repeated training

Find out which types and lengths of climbs are weak for you and find mountain sections that are good for training. The slope is in the range of about 10-15%, and it is ideal to complete the mountain climbing in 1-2 minutes. Warm up before starting about 10-20 minutes, then 5-10 Repeat the climb and perform dynamic recovery. Alternating between standing and sitting will effectively improve your climbing ability and allow you to maintain a consistent performance.

Factor 3. The courage to attack the top of the slope

On a climb, the power input is either slower or slower or the car feels heavier and heavier. This is a situation that many people often encounter when climbing hills. If you want to hit the top of a hill like a big man, increase the gear ratios and increase the speed. Start accelerating to outpace others, then climb the hill at your own pace, and you may have unexpected results. Find your heart rate output close to the burst limit, and try to keep your heart rate slightly below that limit, find a long mountain trail, repeat this burst exercise, and climb in a strong and aggressive way.

Factor 4. Speed ​​according to terrain

Learning how to predict the terrain to adjust for shifting is an important skill. Improper shifting timing can cause you to lose power or speed when climbing a hill. Accelerate the pedal to accelerate, allowing you to maintain faster forward speed, while increasing kinetic energy and increasing efficiency. Try some of the regional trails and you'll be surprised how efficient the climbs are.
