If you ride challenging terrain and want to do it safely and comfortably, you’ll love the features and performance of a full-suspension mountain bike. If you want to push yourself even further chose a bike with 27.5+ or 29+ wheels to give you even more traction and comfort. Adjustable suspension at the front and rear ensures great traction and a comfortable, balanced ride on the trail. If you want efficient performance on ascents and descents, consider a cross-country or trail bike with less suspension travel. Riders who want a mountain bike for better downhill performance would do well to opt for an all-mountain or enduro bike and if downhill performance is the only consideration, get a bonafide downhill bike.
