Selecting Great Mountain Bikes begins with selecting the right type of mountain bike (MTB) for you. Yes, it all comes back down to the type of riding you do.
My present bike is thirteen many years old and nonetheless going powerful. The questions I am about to share with you, are the ones I used when researching good mountain bikes for myself. Recently I utilized the exact same concerns to find a great MTB for my 9 yr old son's birthday. I began studying kids mountain bikes and applied the same concerns to help select the correct bike for him. I am pleased to say, the bike is a ideal fit for him and has renewed his love of bike riding.
So how do you go about choosing the right bike? Merely by asking a series of concerns created assist you choose the greatest bike for you.
What is your riding expertise? What is the age and height is the bike rider? Is the bike going to be used for commuting or cross-country riding? Is the bike going to be utilized for mountain cruising? Is the bike going to be used for rocky trails? Is the bike going to be utilized for rugged downhill tracks? Is the bike going to be used for jumping and aerial tricks?
The type of riding you intend to undertake will significantly influence the type and bike configuration. Although most mountain bikes look similar, there is a vast difference in frame types, steering geometry, suspension, gearing as nicely as the wheels, brakes and tyres.
As a rule of thumb, a newbie rider will best be served by a recreational cross country bike. If you intend to do a great deal of riding on pavement and off-road, choose a model with great front suspension, no rear suspension (hardtail) as they have the best efficiency and comfort. If you intend to do more off-road riding, a complete suspension frame is greatest.
If you intend to use it solely off-road and mainly more than rough terrain look for a higher finish complete suspension model as these will have a higher range of suspension travel and a heavier more robust frame and brakes. This will help with the comfort and stability of your ride.
Downhill MTB's should be very hefty duty in design and have decrease, looser steering geometry. These style changes make the bike more responsive at quick speeds down steep slopes these bikes are created for the more skilled rider.
Based on the kind of riding you wish to undertake the following is a list of great MTB brands which I have discovered to be good quality and great worth for money. They are Giant, Diamondback, Kona, Trek, Norco, Schwinn, Mongoose and GT brand bikes.
The final factor you need to decide is, do you want great, or do you want cheap. The words "great" and "cheap" are not synonymous, nor are great bikes usually discovered in discount department stores.
While researching Kids mountain bikes, I discover a renewed passion for the sport as each my sons now have mountain bikes. We bought a 21 speed - 24 inch "GT Stomper" for my nine yr old son while my eleven year old son rides a five yr old, 7 speed - 20 inch Schwinn.
My eleven yr old does nicely to maintain up with us on our bigger and faster bikes. His bike is much more agile more than jumps and tight tracks. He now wants to upgrade to a bigger 26" bike. Due to his age and height, frame selection is critical as he is going through rapid growth spurts. He is presently just that little as well brief for a medium frame dimension. We are waiting until his next birthday before choosing a great mountain bike with a larger frame size that he will not outgrow as well rapidly.
I must commend my son as he has learnt that there is a distinction in between a cheap bike, a good bike and a affordable bike. We stated we would appear at a GT aggressor, a affordable bike, great for its price range however, he has his eyes on the Mongoose Tyax Comp or if he can stretch his financial savings a GT Avalanche one.
