Best Answer

A mountain bike is made to be ridden on rough terrain so it has tough, knobby tires; a heavy, strong frame; and shock absorbing features. A street bike is designed to be ridden or smoother surfaces, therefore it has smoother tires, a lighter frame and lower handle bars so you can see hazards more easily.
