Tourism & Travel / Cycling
Catalan term or phrase: BTT
This comes in the context of a description about a cycling route (tipus ruta BTT). I'm not sure if in English we'd say Mountain Bike route or All-Terrain. If anyone knows I'd be very grateful.

"All-terrain" doesn't make an specific reference to bikes (as BTT does).
