XC Mountain Bike Frame

admin | Sunday, September 20th, 2009 | No Comments »

The biggest decision to make when picking a new Cross Country (XC) mountain bike frame is that of hard tail or full suspension.

This is a massive decision but really just boils down to the riders’ preference based on the type of terrain they will usually be riding on and their riding style.

Hard tail bikes will normally be quicker up hills and on the flat however full suspension will be faster downhill and on rough terrain. Full suspension bikes also have the added benefit of offering a more comfortable ride however there is of course the financial implication involved.
