  'You're right: Hybrids really aren't a good choice for offroad; but it's not just because of the
tires. I've tried quite a few hybrids over the years, and have owned a couple of them. They feel
clumsy to me. They aren't fast. Most of them are quite heavy. I don't like the short top tubes. On
many hybrid frames, there is "toe overlap" - the front wheel hits your foot when turning. That's
very poor design. I would not feel comfortable riding a hybrid on any offroad trails beyond the
simplest, easiest trails that can be found. I've heard of people riding moderately difficult
singletrack on hybrids - I just can't believe it.

On the other hand, mountain bikes feel agile - like they were made for excellent balance and control
off road. Turns out, that is exactly the case. Frame geometry can make a huge difference in bike
handling. (geometry
= shape of the frame, angles of various frame tubes, height of cranks,
length/trail of fork, etc) Mountain bikes are purpose-built for offroad riding, and it shows. But
that doesn't mean they can't go fast on the road, too. They can, with the right tires (and wheels
- read on).
