they use mtb forks, like fox f series, its a MTB fork, they sometimes use dh parts, such as cranks, pedals, brakes

a lot of street bikes hav bmx cranks and even sometimes rigid street forks

people run bmx cranks because theyre tougher and not as harsh feeling as mtb cranks.

i said some have mtb cranks, like mine, they work fine
and the first mtbs were singlespeed rigid forks and some dh bikes have 24" rear wheels, the only thing different is the frame, some are still made of aluminium, just like a mtb

a trials bike is almost the exact same as a street bike, can have suspension, very short and low with thin frames, they dont even have a seat, therefore a street bike is a mtb
you can say the same thing about how is a Dh bike a mtb, its closer to a motorbike, its basically a moto with cranks
