There sizing are classified to small, medium and large. However, look out for several companies before settling for one because of their size difference. Small size can be a medium size from another company; hence you need to try fit the bike.

  7. Type of the Mountain Bike When purchasing a bike, you should know that there are different types of mountain bikes. Mountain bikes are designed for different needs of biking like the type of biking and terrain. These are the types of mountain bikes:

  8. Full-Suspension A full-suspension mountain bike is good for rugged terrain. They are comfortable and offer good traction. These bikes are easy to handle thus are good for beginners.

  9. Hardtail A hardtail mountain bike is an all-terrain mountain bike. This mountain has front suspension and is also lighter compared to a full suspension bike. Hardtail mountain bike is light and also a good choice for a beginner and enthusiast too.

  10. Freeride A freeride bike is suitable for both uphill and downhill biking. These bikes are made from lighter frames to reduce the weight for easy uphill cycling.

  11. Cross Country Cross country mountain bikes have a minimum suspension system. However, if you're a descending rider, this bike might not be for you. Cross country possesses good momentum and gears to aid in increasing speed.

  12. Downhill Just as the name suggests, these bikes are good for downhill biking. The brakes of this bike are extremely powerful because of the big disc rotors that they have.

  13. Features of the Mountain Bike The features of a mountain bike are very crucial because they distinguish a bike from another. These features are what will make you enjoy your biking experience. A mountain bike that has great features can be quite expensive. The good thing is you can easily add the features that you wish your bike should have. The most important features are:

  14. Brakes There are two types of brakes, the disc brakes and the rim brakes. The disc brakes are far much powerful than the rim brakes. However, the price of disc brakes is also quite expensive. • Gears and Shifts For you to determine which mountain bike fits you, you’ll need to test it to feel the gears and shifts. • Saddle Try out seats to see if they’re comfortable. A well-padded and soft seat will give you a smooth riding experience.

  15. Size Of The Wheels Previously, mountain bikes had standard wheels of 26 inches. However, as days went by, size 27.5 inch and 29 inches were introduced. Bigger wheels are good for bigger obstacles, but they're a bit harder to handle. Experienced bikers mostly use big wheels because they are durable.

  16. Budget Your budget is one factor that will determine which bike you will buy. A budget will direct you on which bike to buy. Expensive bikes are good and have most of the features needed for a good mountain bike. If your budget seems to be tight, you can purchase a mountain bike within your budget and then add the features later on.

  17. When buying a bike, consider getting yourself safety wares for your riding. These are gloves, helmet, proper biking clothes and padded liner shorts. Most people skip this point of purchasing the safety wares because they feel a bike is all that is needed. Protecting yourself using these safety wares is very important, and they can protect your body in case of any accidents. Apart from protection, the safety ware gives a rider a comfortable feeling and so much fun.

  18. Conclusion The features are just like an outline on what to look out for when purchasing a mountain bike. There are a lot of other personal preferences a biker looks for in a mountain bike. Your terrain should also be considered when buying a mountain bike so that you get the best out of it.
