Read on for some valuable tips on how to get a bike with the best possible full suspension if you are considering the purchase of such a mountain bike.
As compared to rear suspension bikes, models with full suspension are more expensive. However, it well worth to pay more for such a bike as it is safer and can protect you from painful accidents or from breaking your legs or arms. If you are looking for a reasonably priced model, first you need to test drive various different mountain bikes with full suspension.
Thus, you can establish the features that fit your requirements. Continue with the bikes that include only the features you really need. Great mountain bikes are always tempting and appealing but not all of them are always in accordance with your needs.
For most value for your money you should buy the best possible bike frame. If you know that you will not change your bike in the near future, it is recommended to go for a carbon or titanium frame. If you go with a titanium frame
, you can forget about external damages and scratches as we are talking
about a very strong material.Mountain bikes with full suspension weight more than other bikes and thus you should make sure that the tires will not add additional weight to the bike. It is always preferable to choose a lightweight model in the detriment of a heavier one. Tubeless tires are a great option as they are not only lighter but you will also have less tire flats.
The majority of the mountain bikes are designed for riders of 1.75 meters, weighting around 75 kilograms and with above average form. If those are your values, you're lucky, because the amount of bikes that fits you is almost endless.
Once you decided your riding style (cross-country, trail, all-mountain or downhill), to suspension travel, frame geometry and selected the appropriate bike, it's time to move on several other variables that need to be taken into consideration before the final decision.
Long Like Spaghetti
Taller riders usually ride more "elegantly" than the low ones. Mountain bike riders with short legs and a solid upper body seem often clumsy. If you're tall, I encourage you to choose the lightest frame as possible with a short suspension travel. As long as you are not an overweight, let your hands and feet do most of the work, and enjoy a light and agile bike.
Stuck in the Middle
If your height fits is in between two sizes, for example between small and medium, both are appropriate for you. If you ride fast and enjoy mostly from cross-country styles, take advantage of the larger frame (longer wheel base, which provides high-speed stability at the expense of maneuverability). If you ride technical, you should choose a smaller size to easily tackle jumps and bumps at low speeds.
"Supersize"
Some of the high weight bikers prefer to ride on a low weight gear, which is not a god match. Heavy riders should concentrate on bicycle parts survival and not to pay attention on overall bike weight. Rider that weights over 90 kilograms and prefers a cross-country riding style should purchase a 5 inch trail bike weighing 13 kilograms, and not a competitive hard tail bike.
Downhill
Downhill bikes often weigh over 21 kilograms. Sometimes it is half of the rider’s weight. There is no reason to drag a bike that is almost 40 percent of your weight. Light weight short rider can use a bike with medium travel suspension that equipped with lighter parts.
Air Spring Suspension
Air springs absorbers, front or rear, usually not designed to support riders weighing over a hundred kilograms. Bike specification should specify the dampers maximum air pressure and what weight they can support.
Custom Bike
If you are very tall, very short or have abnormal body proportions, it's time to buy a custom bike built especially for you. To enjoy the ride you need to buy a right size bike. Review the companies offering this service, and remember that even this is more expensive option, it is better to pay and enjoy than compromise and suffer.
