Define Your Mountain Bike Budget

Mountain bikes are usually created with more detailed specifications than the city bike. It’s not only for commuting but also to tackle the challenge on the harsh track. This makes this type of bicycle most of the time come at a slightly more expensive price point. You need to at least have $1000 to get a proper one. This budget can be exceeded even more if you want a full suspension MTB compared to the hardtail one.

Do I Need Full Suspension MTB For My First Ride?

Do I Need Full Suspension MTB For My First Ride?

It’s common knowledge that there are two types of MTB that are available for selection: the hardtail and the full-suspension mountain bike. What makes them different? The hardtail MTB is available with only fork suspension without the rear one. The full suspension MTB on the other hand gives you two suspensions – front and back – that guarantee a more comfortable yet agile riding. This setup will help you the most if you are riding on more technical trails, for example, if you are pedaling through rock gardens with more drops, then you might want to consider choosing the full-suspension mountain bike.

If you are a total newbie, we suggest you go with a hardtail mountain bike first. You can use the dual suspension mountain bike after you are more confident on the trails and want an upgrade on your gear.
