The Chamois pad on the bike shorts will help your sit bones whether you mountain bike or road bike. If you are mountain biking on a hardtail, you might want to think about a suspension post for your seat if you are a newbie having a difficult time timing your crouching position off of the saddle on bumps. I'm speaking from personal experience because my sitbones felt soooo much better on my hybrid (with lockout-able suspension) when I went "mountain biking" on trails with my suspension post and biking shorts with chamois padding.
