Types of Mountain Bike Suspensions
Tsafrir Jeff Aviezer, an experienced construction industry professional and real estate developer, likes to go mountain biking in his free time. Mountain bikers like Tsafrir Jeff Aviezer must select different types of bikes for terrains or riding styles.
A mountain bike's suspension determines which trails that bike best suits. Bikes can be full-suspension, hardtail, or rigid.
Full-suspension mountain bikes have both front and rear suspension, enabling the bike to deal with greater impact from trails. The amount of suspension in a full-suspension bike can vary, with greater amounts targeted at riders who want to take steep downhill trails and lower amounts intended for cross country riders who still want shock absorption.
A hardtail bike has suspension only in the front. These offer some of the impact mitigation of a full-suspension bike but with a significant reduction in maintenance cost, due to the more rugged construction of the rear. Cross country riders and those interested in less challenging trails benefit from a hardtail suspension.
Rigid bikes have no suspension whatsoever and rely on tires to provide comfort. These bikes require little maintenance and have a low price point, but cheaper suspension designs have made them a niche purchase.
