BTT (bicicleta todo-o-terreno)


Explanation:
dirt bike
n.
A lightweight motorcycle designed for use on rough surfaces, such as dirt roads or trails. Also called trail bike.
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/dirt bike

O BTT é conhecido como a bicicleta todo o terreno ou bicicleta de montanha – uma forma de obter horas de diversão e de adrenalina total. Trata-se de um desporto aventura, no qual o objetivo principal é transpor vários tipos de percursos com diversas irregularidades e obstáculos. Funciona um pouco à semelhança do trekking, um desporto de caminhada, com a diferença de que o BTT é efetuado em cima de uma BTT bike. O BTT é praticado em estradas de terra, em trilhos montanhosos, em serras, dentro de parques e até em alguns trajetos que possam ser construídos numa cidade.

Em pt-pt. ("Bike", de facto, pode ser mota ou bicicleta).

Faltou-me o verbo, mas também é implícito - praticar.
