it would work, but i would agree with ben jepson about getting a mtb specific pack. i use it biking around town and it flops alot and if it's not full it's a pain in the butt. but it does have to side pockets for like a water-bottle and or an energy bar. sorry ben, but the mesh pockets are on the outside. also there's a top pocket on the lid that i use to stash my rain jacket.

It would probably work, but I would recommend going for a pack designed specifically for mountain biking. They generally will fit closer to your body so that they are more stable and don't shift around as you ride, and also this pack doesn't have small outer pockets, I personally would hate to have to fish around in one big pocket to find a wrench or an energy bar. I would recommend Camelback or Dakine if you're looking to buy a pack specifically for mountain biking.
