Mountain Biking is one of the fastest growing sports in the world because it couples the thrills of riding a bike down trails of different terrain, as well as being a relatively cheap and accessible sport to get get into. Although most mountain bikes are very similar in their fundamental design, there are a few key components that you should carefully consider when evaluating bikes before making that final purchasing decision.
Type of Mountain Bike
There are essentially three different types of bikes, either (i) a full suspension bike which has a shock absorber attached between the frame and the front wheel, or (ii) a dual suspension bike which is fitted with two shock absorbers, one at the front and one at the rear wheel, or finally (iii) a hard tail bike which does not have the shock in the middle of the frame. As a result of the shock absorbers, suspension bikes offers a much more comfortable ride through difficult trails, although they are slightly heavier than a hard tail bike. You will also find that hard tail bikes are usually more suited for racing and faster than full suspension bikes due to the lighter frame.
Size of Frame
If you are looking to purchase a mountain bike for a child, then make sure you select the right size of bike according to their age and height. There are various sizes of bikes available and we recommend that you take your child to your local bike store and get some professional assistance. Adult bikes are standard size in that they usually have 26 inch wheels. However, the general rule of thumb is that when standing flat footed on the ground, you should have a minimum of 3" clearance between yourself and the top tube of the frame. Other than that, there are slight differences when comparing mountain bikes from one manufacturer to another. Make sure you check the seat, frame and handle bars when sitting in the saddle and select the bike that feels the most comfortable to you. A bike that feels great to me, someone of below average height (I am only 5ft 2 inches tall) may not feel so good to you if you happen to be over 6 feet tall. The seat needs to be comfortable, the frame sturdy and the handle bars well away from your knees when you cycle.
Your Budget
These days it's simply not enough to purchase a mountain bike. Remember that mountain biking can be a dangerous sport if you are not fully geared up for it, and so certain accessories should be mandatory purchases with your bike (unless you already have them of course). Make sure that you have the budget for a bike helmet, some gloves, knee and elbow pads, comfortable cycling shorts, and possibly even a bike lock. If you plan on riding your mountain bike on the road and late at night then get yourself some fluorescent or reflective high visibility clothing.
Hopefully these three essential tips will assist you in buying the perfect mountain bike for yourself or your loved ones.

Mainstream Style of Mountain Bike Riding
The types of shock system for Mountain bikes include full suspension and hard tail and even no suspension. The shock system is important as because it helps to absorb the impact over rugged terrain that provide a smoother ride. Full suspension bikes got suspension in both the front and the rear of the bike. Hard tail bikes have solid rear fork and shock system in place of the front fork. Mountain bikes with lower end models do not have a shock system in the front or in the back of the bike.
Enjoy Different Types of Mountain Bikes
Mountain bikes for cross-country rider are ideal for small to moderate train. They got both climbing and descending capabilities as well. The travel in the rear suspension system is less than four inches and that does not hinder the ability to climb hills. The standard number of gears on cross-country bikes is 28 providing a wide range of gears suitable for the traveling over varied terrain. In mountain bikes, trail bikes are more substantial than cross country bikes as they are intended for use for more technical mountain bike rides. The travel in suspension systems used on these bikes ranges is from 4-7 inches. This increased travel allows for a very smoother ride but makes pedaling uphill more difficult too.
Mountain bikers have to take into account the decreased pedal efficiency versus a smoother ride. The down hill mountain bikes detailed with the front and rear shock that have up to eight inches of travel. These bikes are specifically designed to do downhill racing. The amount of travel in the suspension systems makes it difficult to pedal uphill, for this reason these bikes are used almost exclusively for the downhill races where the shock systems allows smooth possible ride over harsh terrain at high speeds also.
Dirt jump bikes are one more verity in mountain bikes, which have only a front suspension system and used for flying over jumps. They have 16 gears in these bikes which allows the rider to build up the speed they need while making jumps.

Can I use a slightly larger shock on my bike.?
Replacing my blown no name rear shock on my bike.
Can i use a slightly larger shock.
Stock shock is 152mm x 32mm (6'')
and the new one would be 165mm x 38mm (6.5'')
air shock that is.
If it fits in the frame eye to eye and bolts in tightly, I would try it. But if it doesn't fit well, and has any slop or binds up the frame I would skip it.
