As an older cyclist I found my full suspension bike much more comfortable than my previous hardtail bike even though the trails I ride are definitely not as challenging as in your video.
Hitting 50 soon. A buddy of mine who is ten years older talked me into the Full Suspension. He said he knows I won't be doing the crazy stuff, but my body will thank me over the next 5-10 years of the life of my bike...
Great video explaining the differences
Great video. Please keep them coming. I love the trek domane too by the way 👍🚲💨.
IF you aren't doing big jumps and or drops , get a hardtail . i've been riding off road since 1958 and when full suspension came out many years later i tried it but found no use for it since i don't do kamakazi downhills with big drops .
Even to this day klunkers are still a blast to ride and scary as hell because you never know if you will be able to stop . 😂
I ❤ TREK
Meh. Full suspension bikes are also heavy, crazy expensive, and require more maintenance. If you are a n00b who doesn't know how to adjust it or maintain it, you may as well not even have it. Also, be honest, 99% of full suspension owners are not barreling down a mountain or jumping 20 feet off of berms in a forest. Most in Austin are on dry pavement or well manicured gravel paths.
I bought the Roscoe 8 because it has a big front shock and gnarly wheels that can take a beating, but also had decent components without costing more than my first three cars (combined).
Logical take.
Hi🙌🔥
The rigid is so bad even it didn’t got included
I just did a trail with a road bike for fun - based on how much “muscle fatigue” I’m feeling in my back end describes my understanding of rigid since my bike has zero suspension
This video was very educational and has convinced me I need to go bike shopping 🎉 and maybe treat my current bike to a spa day loll
Thanks!
And to think for most of history BMX guys actually rode on dirt without $6,000 worth of suspension helping them!!!
❤❤❤❤
what a rubbish video, the pros of owning a hardtail are the downfalls of a full suspension? there are so many pros that you could have listed that credited hardtails for what theyr are and not what full suspension bikes arent.
Such as?
Price
Maintenance
Weight
Easier to clean
Better for bike packing
Better progression platform
Better for pump track
Better for dirt jumping
But most important, it makes the boring trails fun again, where a fs would just erase it.
@@dragoschisavu BOOM THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT.
As a certified broke boy hardtails are the GOAT
