There are two different kinds of mountain bikes. One is full suspension (suspension on both the front and rear wheels) and the other is called hard tail (suspension only on the front wheel). A full suspension bike offers the advantage of improved control because it can handle bumps and rough spots better, while a hard tail is more efficient on smoother terrain, and is lighter in weight. The kind of mountain bike you choose depends on what you can afford and what kind of terrain you are going to ride.

There are a lot of different components that can be put on a mountain bike. When looking for a bike to buy, look for one with the components you want.

The warm season of the year tends to raise the price of bikes as well as the temperature. To avoid paying hundreds of dollars extra, try to wait until the weather turns cold when shop owners long to make a sale. You are more likely to score a discount or some bonus accessories if you can stand to wait.
