This is the bike for the rider who wants trail manners with the low fuss ownership of a hardtail. The biggest surprise is the The new RIP has mm of rear travel with a mm Fox 36 fork on the front and a 10mm reduction in travel at both ends from the outgoing RIP, which helps the new version pedal more efficiently. The all-new Tallboy—and its Juliana sibling —gets many of the features that rolled out in the Megatower and Hightower 29ers earlier this year.
As the definition of lightweight trail 29er has evolved, so has the Tallboy. Visually, the biggest change to the Tallboy 4 is the switch to a lower link-driven shock—previous Tallboy models drove the shock off the upper link. The Tallboy has two geometry adjustments. It also has a small effect on shock rate: In the low setting it is a bit more progressive, in the high setting more linear. Put it all together and you get a bike that helps redefine what can be done with just mm of travel.
The Bad Habit is the plus-tire version of Cannondale's best-ever suspension bike, the Habit. The rear suspension offers well-rounded performance, and with an aluminum frame and great parts of the money, this is a plus bike well worth the money.
Trek's new Supercaliber is the latest attempt to create the ultimate XC race bike by merging the best attributes of a hardtail stiffness, low weight and full suspension traction, comfort, control frame into one. And based on our rides, it's the closest yet to that best-of-both-worlds machine with 60mm of rear travel. Trek's IsoStrut design places a Fox Float shock into a tube—both ends of that tube are bolted to the underside of the SuperCal's top tube.
At the top of the seat stays is a sleeve Trek calls it a carriage that slides over the bolted-in tube. Cutouts in the tube allow a cross bolt to pass through the sleeve, the tube, and the rear shock eyelet. Trek says this design eliminates rotation around the shock shaft, and side-loading the shaft so the bike has the stiffness and feel of a hardtail, but with real full suspension for better comfort and control. And based on back to back testing with a hardail, the Supercaliber is everything it was designed to be.
It is up to mm travel in the front still mm in the rear , longer, slacker, stiffer, and comes with bigger tires. The new EX is a trail bike with hints of enduro. But it also has a trap door and hidden storage in the down tube. There are a lot of great trail bikes you can buy right now. Its RockShox suspension feels buttery from the box, and at 31 pounds, the bike is pleasingly flickable around tight corners.
Not long ago, you had to pay considerably for a mountain bike you could trust on anything but the smoothest trails. But the price of entry is falling and this bike is leading the way. You get an aluminum frame with trail geometry, a mm coil-spring fork, This newer and slightly more expensive version is even more capable. It gets a one-degree slacker head angle, longer reach, and a dropper post, which is worth every penny of the additional cost. Marin packed this newest model with quality suspension, good parts, and a lively ride.
It has mm of good suspension and feels stable and predictable in the rough stuff. The wide, super-knobby, 2. The aluminum frame has a RockShox Deluxe R shock, and the mm-travel RockShox Sektor RL fork gives you a bit more give and bounce in the front to pop up and over bigger rocks and logs. Dropper posts are de-rigeur on all but the cheapest bikes. Buy if: You want to take on steep and difficult descents, but still get up to the top under your own power.
As the name suggests, these are all about getting to the bottom of the hill as quickly as possible, with little regard to getting back up to the top under your own power. They're built to be extremely tough and capable of tackling the wildest terrain and biggest jumps possible.
This means that they have lots of suspension travel, with around mm at either end being the most common figure. Coil sprung shocks are common and forks are of the triple clamp variety, where the upper legs extend above the head tube of the bike, with additional bracing to improve stiffness and strength. Again, dampers tend to offer a wide range of adjustment to allow them to be fine tuned to different tracks.
Almost all bikes have Downhill bikes are generally best suited to people that want to go racing, take part in organised uplift days or go to the Alps, as the weight and descending focused design means they're hard work to get uphill and often unrewarding on flatter trails.
Buy if: You want to throw yourself down the steepest hills possible and don't care about how hard it is to get back up them. Fat bikes are designed to work on very soft terrain, such as sand or snow. In order to do this, they have very wide, almost cartoonish tyres, hence the name.
This allows then to be run at extremely low pressures and the large footprint this creates gives excellent floatation and traction on soft surfaces. Originally designed to take part in huge distance races in the snow, such as the Iditabike in Alaska, they've become popular with people that live in places that have harsh, snowy winters or people who fancy something quirky and different.
Most fat bikes are fully rigid, as the tyres act as suspension, though there are some hardtail and full suspension designs. Most frames tend to have plenty of places to attach water bottles, racks and luggage in a nod to their long-distance racing roots. Buy if: You want to go adventuring on sand or snow, or just fancy something extremely different. The electrically assisted mountain bike, or e-MTB, has really taken off in the few years.
With the rough, tough image of an off roader and all the gung-ho attitude that goes with it, the addition of a battery and motor on the bike seems less of an issue.
And unlike the early days of e-bikes, when everything looked a bit bolted together, the styling of current e-MTBs is really on point, with the e-bits well camouflaged by the frame and clever use of integrated graphics. The e-MTB bike choices begin with a question of suspension, you can get e-hardtails and e-bikes with full suspension. E-hardtails have a suspension fork at the front and a rigid frame — fairly conventional like a regular hardtail.
These are cheaper and usually lighter than comparable specification full-suspension models. Full-suspension e-bikes are heavier, more expensive and complex to set up, they will have front and rear suspension similar to trail and enduro bikes with travel typically of mm. If you think your mountain biking is going to be the lighter towpath and forest parks, with loops of well graded trail centres, then the hardtail is a great choice.
Frames come in both carbon and alloy and you'll find e-bikes with both The motor on any e-MTB with serious off-road intentions is positioned at the cranks. This is called a mid-motor design for obvious reasons.
