Mens Mountain Bikes – How To Choose The Most Suitable Style
Since the development of mountain biking in the 70’s, there has been an increase in the number of companies offering specialist mens mountain bikes. Several types of mountain bike exist, and each type is aimed at a different style of riding, so you need to decide on the style you prefer before choosing a bike.
Mens mountain bikes are usually made with technical, lightweight materials. They have advanced gear systems, suspension and brakes. Mountain bikes can be divided into four main types based on suspension.
These consist of, Fully Rigid, that is a frame with fixed rear suspension and a rigid fork, or no suspension. Hard Tail, which is a frame with front but no rear suspension. Soft Tail, which is a frame with a small amount of rear suspension. And Full or Dual suspension, which has front and rear suspension.
There are lots of different categories of mountain bikes available as well. Of these the most popular include Cross Country (XC), All Mountain (AM), Trail Bikes and Freeride bikes.
Cross Country (XC) mountain bikes are usually lightweight and only have a small amount of front and/or rear suspension. They are aimed at using on ascents and have fast turning capabilities.
Trail bikes are a mixture of an All Mountain and a Cross Country bike. They are excellent bikes covering all styles of mountain biking.
All Mountain Bikes offer fantastic suspension travel. They are aimed at climbing mild to moderate ascents and descending steep downhills. These bikes are ideal for any level of cyclist, whether adult or child.
Freeride bikes are a little like downhill bikes. They are made with strength, not weight, in mind. They provide good suspension and are generally made using heavy, durable materials. They are ideal for riding downhill technically.
Which mountain bike you buy firstly comes down to personal taste and style of riding. You should decide what kind of riding you prefer doing on your bike. Do you want to ride smooth flowing trails, climb big mountains, ride stunts, descend technical downhill courses, or just have all around fun? There are plenty of mens mountain bikes covering all of these options so you just need to find one that feels right for you that is within your budget.
