Default road crank length vs mtb crank length

Why is the mtb's crank length generally longer than an equal size road crank? Is there some sort of advantage? Thanks.

Default Re: road crank length vs mtb crank length

For me its 170mm Road, TT, MTB.

I did try 175mm once on a MTB and caught the train home.
