Hardtail Mountain Bikes

With front suspension forks only and no rear shock absorption, Hardtail mountain bikes are built with efficiency in mind. The best option for cheaper, entry-level off-road riding, a Hardtail MTB is a versatile bike that works well on the trail as well as for everyday use thanks to its lightweight design.

With its responsive handling, it's not just for beginners. The hardtail is equally capable on rockier terrains, making it popular among experienced riders and in competitive riding where an XC hardtail will be ideal. For steeper terrains, a more aggressive frame with longer travel will be key. Where speed is particularly important such as fast-flowing trails or racing, a carbon hardtail bike will help reduce unwanted weight.
