Tips Choosing a Bike

Choosing a suitable mountain bike often be a confusing, especially for beginners. Easy tips to overcome this is to first recognize the general types of mountain bikes is well intended. Then discuss with friends or an experienced mountain cyclists or join a virtual community (mailing lists).

Classic question for beginners usually revolve around:
(1) Do I get started with hardtail bike or full-suspension bike?
(2) Do I buy a bike or a full-frame and assembled with components of their own choice?

To choose the right bike, first decide what category to use. Do not let preparing XC bike but the setting used for Freeride or DH, could be worse outcome, and vice versa.

But if you are a fan of XC and all-time plays AM / XM / trailbike, there are several bicycles that have been designed like that. This means that the technical specifications for the AM / XM / trailbike, but because of light weight and its dynamic geometry, it is still comfortable enough for XC.

Whatever category the use of mountain bikes (MTB) you, like XC, AM, FR, or DH; you can always start with a full-suspension. Indeed most of the suggestions received by the beginners is, "start with a hardtail". By reason among others, to practice first with a less comfortable bike and better pedalling efficiency.

But for those who started (again) cycle over the age of 30 + are encouraged to give priority to comfort riding to reduce body fatique.

Currently available full-XC bike suspension with performance (efficiency) is equal or close to hardtail, such as a bicycle that uses brain shock or Non-Resonance System on the back.

But it all came back again on the budget available and how serious we will do this sport or hobby. One thing is certain, if our goal is not for competition cycling and more concerned with elements of sport, comfort and health; once again a full-suspension was not the wrong choice. Right now the entry-level full-suspension is more affordable especially when good-looking smart used bikenya

But if you choose HARDTAIL, nor obviously the wrong choice, many koq who started and still remain loyal to the hardtail. Eventually everything was back on personal preferences and goals.

THEN, how do you choose to assemble a bike or buy the already full-bike? If you simply make cycling for exercise or alternative transportation, then buy a full bike-bike will facilitate your choice. But if cycling is also a part of the hobby or your life-style, the bike is assembled by his own choice of components is clearly more satisfactory.
