There are different types of mountain bikes on the market that suit various types of riding styles. Full suspension bikes are equipped with a front shock and rear shock integrated into the frame. Hardtail bikes do not have a rear shock however the majority of bikes nowadays come with a front shock in the fork. The decision to buy a full suspension or hardtail bikes depends on your type of riding terrain. Some riders suggest that the more technical the trail the more a hardtail mountain bike is desired.
Trail riding and racing is the perfect match for a hardtail mountain bike. Hardtail mountain bikes are lighter, cheaper and require less maintenance because there are no pivots when compared to a full suspension bike.
Researching which hardtail bike to purchase can be daunting for a first time buyer. Not knowing each brands product line and not knowing the difference in quality of components can be frustrating. To help with this process keep the following suggestions and questions in mind when deciding which hardtail mountain bike to purchase.
- Shop for your hardtail mountain bike at a reputable bike store. Do not buy your bike at Walmart or Target because odds are you will not find the service and quality that you desire. Bike shops have good selections of mountain bikes for sale and bike parts. At a bike shop one will be able to find quality products and expertise that one can count on.
- Determine where you are going to ride and how you are going to use the bike. As an example will you be riding on the local trails in the woods as a recreational rider or are you going to be traveling and racing? Be honest with yourself.
- Determine your budget and stick to it. Mountain bikes can be very expensive and you want to make sure that you buy the best bike within your budget. You might feel very excited when you see all of thebikes for sale at the store so keep your goals in perspective.
- Purchase a bike that has a quality frame made out of steel, aluminum, carbon fiber or titanium.
- Determine if you want a drive train that has 21 or 27 speeds. Many riders prefer a 27 speed for the extra gears. Upgrading from a 21 speed to a 27 speed in the future could be a hassle and more costly then paying for it up front.
- Learn some of the basics about front suspension forks. A suspension fork will help improve the comfort and control of your mountain bike on the trail. There are several manufactures that have proven quality products so research them before you buy your bike.
- Try to buy a bike with brand name components. These components do not have to be top of the line however just make sure they are a familiar brand. Some brands are not interchangeable; meaning brand Y derailleur does not work with brand X shifters. If you buy a bike with a no name component and it breaks it could be hard to find the needed replacement part.
- Make sure the tires are appropriate for the terrain that you want to ride on. As an example if you are buying a cross country bike then make sure that it has a good cross country tire.
Talk to your friends and read online forums. Also make sure you test ride as many bikes as you can. Shop around for mountain bikes for sale and have fun.
See you on the trail.

Choosing Your Mountain Bike: What to Look For
A mountain bike is a moderately expensive purchase to make, with a lot of options to consider and the companies selling them don't make it much easier. Here's a guideline of what to keep in mind while you check out your new cycle.
Firstly - where are you going to be riding it? While most mountain bike advertising shows extreme sports aficionados bounding over logs, rocks and canyons to punk rock beats, the vast majority of mountain bikes, when ridden at all, are ridden on prepared trails. If this is going to be how you're riding, you will want a bike that has got a moderately stiff frame, and a good shock absorber system.
If you plan on doing competitive off-road racing, you will want a bike with stiffer construction. The stiffer the frame, the more efficiently it transfers the power from your legs into the frame and into the rear wheel. You'll also want to forego most of the extras - each one ads weight, and when you're pedalling your bike up a hill, that extra weight adds up. Most mountain bikes sold today have aluminium frames; aluminium is lighter than steel (about 40% lighter all told), and with aircraft grade and double butted tubing, at least as stiff. High end mountain bikes use carbon fibre frames, or other, more exotic materials to reduce weight and keep stiffness up.
There are specialist mountain bike designs out there, such as downhill models, and ruggedized versions. Neither of these are suitable to general purpose riding. For example, downhill racers are heavy tanks of a machine, and getting them to the top of the hill is something you do with a truck, and then ride them down from there. They are the cycling equivalent of downhill skis, and are just as specialised.
If you're looking for "off-road touring", we recommend bikes, like those made by Merlin, that are geared towards some stiffness, and general durability and maintainability. Most mountain bikers, as mentioned above, don't ride as if they're starring in a Mountain Dew ad; they're ridden on trails to enjoy nature while getting some exercise and most importantly comfort.
Once you've got your bike, take the time to get it fitted properly to you - this means adjusting the seat height and the handlebars appropriately. The seat height is right if your knee is at a bit under a right angle when the pedals are parallel to the ground. The handlebars are set at the right height when there's a 45 degree angle from your shoulder to your elbow. Most of the people who complain about back and hip pain from riding a bike are suffering because the bike wasn't fitted to them properly.
Once you've got the basics down - a mountain bike that's comfortable to use, and suits the kind of riding you'll be doing, then it's time to look at added features, like stabilization controls, shock absorbers, and other details. Like most sporting equipment, the more you get into the competitive aspect of things, the higher the price tends to climb.

Previous commenter spoke partially in error: Profile Jammer clip-on bars are short, don't protrude ahead of road bars, and are ITU legal and UCI legal for mass start racing. (You'd never ride on your elbows in a paceline, it's true.)
