Full Suspension or Hardtail?

[mrbikerboy73]

Just curious as to riders preferences. Sorry if this has been done before!

Depends on budget, type of bike and terrain .

As an all rounder, a hardtail.

Hard tail with front suspension.

If you ride on Essex roads you will know why.

since my old MTB spends most of its time on tarmac... I've remained fully rigid. I guess it's more of an urban bike by today's standards.

I thought a hardtail was a front suspension only bike.

You could be right.
Or you can get a hard tail with front suspension
Or a hard tail with rigid front forks.
Excuse me i am just being silly now { must lay off the cheese for a while.}

As I don't throw myself off hills or go very fast down steep track, I have no need for a full susser.

For that reason I'd opt for a hardtail but if there was never a need for chunky tyres then a CX'er would be my choice

I bought a Spesh Stumpjumper… hardtail, wish I'd bought a full susser. But then I live at the foot of the Cairngorms.. and they are proper gnarly! YMMV.
