Selecting Good Mountain Bikes begins with selecting the right type of mountain bike (MTB) for you. Yes, it all comes back down to the kind of riding you do.
My present bike is thirteen many years old and still going powerful. The concerns I am about to share with you, are the ones I used when researching great mountain bikes for myself. Lately I used the exact same questions to find a great MTB for my 9 yr old son's birthday. I started researching children mountain bikes and utilized the exact same questions 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 correct bike? Simply by asking a series of concerns designed assist you choose the greatest bike for you.
What is your riding experience? What is the age and height is the bike rider? Is the bike going to be utilized for commuting or cross-country riding? Is the bike going to be used for mountain cruising? Is the bike going to be utilized for rocky trails? Is the bike going to be used for rugged downhill tracks? Is the bike going to be utilized for jumping and aerial tricks?
The kind of riding you intend to undertake will greatly influence the type and bike configuration. Although most mountain bikes look similar, there is a vast difference in frame kinds, steering geometry, suspension, gearing as well 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-street, choose a model with good front suspension, no rear suspension (hardtail) as they have the best efficiency and comfort. If you intend to do more off-street riding, a complete suspension frame is best.
If you intend to use it exclusively off-road and mostly more than rough terrain look for a greater finish full suspension model as these will have a greater variety of suspension travel and a heavier more robust frame and brakes. This will assist with the comfort and stability of your ride.
Downhill MTB's must be very hefty duty in design and have decrease, looser steering geometry. These design modifications make the bike more responsive at fast speeds down steep slopes these bikes are designed for the more skilled rider.
Based on the kind of riding you wish to undertake the following is a checklist of great MTB brands which I have found to be great high quality and great worth for money. They are Giant, Diamondback, Kona, Trek, Norco, Schwinn, Mongoose and GT brand bikes.
The last factor you need to determine is, do you want great, or do you want inexpensive. The words "great" and "cheap" are not synonymous, nor are great bikes usually discovered in low cost division stores.
Whilst researching Kids mountain bikes, I discover a renewed passion for the sport as both my sons now have mountain bikes. We bought a 21 speed - 24 inch "GT Stomper" for my nine yr old son while my eleven yr old son rides a five year old, 7 speed - 20 inch Schwinn.
My eleven year old does well to maintain up with us on our bigger and faster bikes. His bike is a lot more agile more than jumps and tight tracks. He now desires to upgrade to a larger 26" bike. Due to his age and height, frame choice is crucial as he is going through rapid development spurts. He is presently just that little as well short for a medium frame size. We are waiting till his subsequent birthday prior to choosing a good mountain bike with a bigger frame size that he will not outgrow too rapidly.
I must commend my son as he has learnt that there is a difference in between a inexpensive bike, a great bike and a affordable bike. We stated we would appear at a GT aggressor, a affordable bike, good for its cost range however, he has his eyes on the Mongoose Tyax Comp or if he can stretch his financial savings a GT Avalanche one.
