The Bridgestone MB-4 was a mid-range mountain bicycle in the line that Bridgestone Cycle sold in the United States under product designer Grant Petersen. Bridgestone's 1992 catalogue calls it a good choice for part-time racers and anyone else who wants a strong mountain bike for the money, and says its unusual mix of Shimano, Dia-Compe, Sugino and Ritchey parts made it the product manager's personal favorite, the bike the company recommended to close friends and relatives. The catalogue lists it as an upgrade from the MB-5, with a Sugino crank of lower Q-Factor, better and lighter brakes and levers, a Ritchey bar and stem and Wheelsmith spokes, offered in dark blue metallic or pearl white. The mtb-timeline archive shows a 1993 MB-4 with Shimano Deore LX derailleurs, DX shifters, Ritchey parts and a lugged frame, weighing 28 pounds.
