En fait, le vélo d’aventure s’inspire du vélo de route, mais présente quelques caractéristiques qui le rendent plus polyvalent. Par exemple, il possède des freins à disque offrant puissance et modulation de freinage, et qui, en l'absence d’étriers, permettent au vélo de chausser des pneus plus larges, pouvant aller jusqu'à 50 mm de largeur. 2, record 1, French, - v%C3%A9lo%20de%20route%20tout%2Dterrain
