    This document discusses steering performance characteristics of different bicycle types. Mountain bikes have more front wheel trail, ranging from 4.5-7 inches, created by a shallower head tube angle of around 70 degrees and rake of 4.5-7 cm. Racing bikes have less trail of 1.5-4 inches and shallower rake of 1-4 cm, making them stable at high speeds. Climbing bikes may steepen the head tube angle and use less rake.

    STEERING PERFORMANCE Trail is generous, ranging from 1 34-3 in (4'Z-71 cm) or more, which helps pull the front

    wheel into line. On mountain bikes rake is from 1 3/1-23/, in (41/2-7 cm), allowing for the greater trail created by a shallow head tube angle of about 70 degrees. A climbing frame might steepen the head tube angle, and use fewer rakes. On racing bikes rake tends to be a shallow Y8-1 3/4 in (/1 -4A1 cm). Trail is 41/2-7 in (111/2-17% cm), making the bike stable at high speeds.
