Mountain Bike Designs
The designs for mountain bikes can be classified in three categories based on suspension:
Hardtail
This is a frame with no rear suspension and often containing a front suspension fork.
Fully rigid
This is a sub type of hardtail with a rigid fork.
Dual or full suspension
These bikes offer a front suspension fork and a rear suspension that are integrated into the frame.
Soft tail
This type offers a frame with a small amount of rear suspension, normally less than a full suspension frame.
The different designs of bikes in mountain biking will offer you what you need for your unique style of riding. You'll want a different bike for different terrain, such as cross country or downhill. As the terrain changes, you'll want to make sure you have the right bike for the job.
If you are new to mountain biking, you'll find the different designs to be very enticing yet very challenging at the same time. Mountain biking is different than any other sport, offering you plenty of excitement and thrills. Mountain biking can also be very dangerous if you don't have the right bike for the terrain. Before you decide to buy a bike and hit the trails, make sure you have the right design of mountain bike for the riding you are planning on doing.
