Mountain Bikes are generally used for any type of off-road use. Whilst they can be ridden
on ashphalt roads, they perform best on any surface other than ashphalt. Gravel bike paths, unsealed roads, grass fields and bush trails are ideal. |
hardtail cross country
Refers to mountain bikes with suspension forks, but no rear wheel suspension. Front wheel suspension gives better steering control and upper body comfort. They are generally light weight bikes suitable for general trail riding where the wheels rarely leave the ground. Hardtail XC is a cost effective way to enjoy entry level trail riding. |

dual suspension
Refers to bikes with front and rear wheel suspension. Front wheel suspension gives better steering control and provides greater upper body comfort (ie. arms, shoulders and neck). Rear wheel suspension provides greater rear wheel traction in all riding situations, therefore enhancing performance, safety and lower body comfort (ie. back and legs). |
