Selecting Great Mountain Bikes starts with selecting the right kind of mountain bike (MTB) for you. Yes, it all comes back down to the type of riding you do.

My current bike is thirteen many years old and nonetheless going strong. The concerns I am about to share with you, are the ones I used when researching great mountain bikes for myself. Lately I used the same questions to discover a great MTB for my nine year old son's birthday. I began researching kids mountain bikes and utilized the exact same concerns to assist choose the right bike for him. I am pleased to say, the bike is a ideal match for him and has renewed his love of bike riding.

So how do you go about choosing the correct bike? Simply by asking a series of concerns designed help you choose the greatest bike for you.

What is your riding expertise? What is the age and height is the bike rider? Is the bike going to be used for commuting or cross-country riding? Is the bike going to be utilized for mountain cruising? Is the bike going to be used for rocky trails? Is the bike going to be used for rugged downhill tracks? Is the bike going to be used for jumping and aerial tricks?

The type of riding you intend to undertake will significantly influence the style and bike configuration. Even though most mountain bikes appear comparable, there is a huge distinction in frame types, steering geometry, suspension, gearing as well as the wheels, brakes and tyres.

As a rule of thumb, a newbie rider will best be served by a recreational cross country bike. If you intend to do a great deal of riding on pavement and off-road, choose a model with good front suspension, no rear suspension (hardtail) as they have the greatest efficiency and comfort. If you intend to do more off-street riding, a full suspension frame is greatest.

If you intend to use it exclusively off-road and mainly more than rough terrain appear for a greater finish complete suspension model as these will have a higher variety of suspension travel and a heavier much more robust frame and brakes. This will assist with the comfort and stability of your ride.

Downhill MTB's should be extremely hefty duty in style and have decrease, looser steering geometry. These design modifications make the bike much more responsive at fast speeds down steep slopes these bikes are created for the more skilled rider.

Depending on the kind of riding you want to undertake the following is a list of good MTB brands which I have discovered to be great high quality and great value for cash. They are Giant, Diamondback, Kona, Trek, Norco, Schwinn, Mongoose and GT brand bikes.

The last thing you need to decide is, do you want good, or do you want cheap. The words "good" and "cheap" are not synonymous, nor are good bikes usually discovered in discount department stores.

While researching Children mountain bikes, I discover a renewed passion for the sport as both my sons now have road bikes. We purchased a 21 speed - 24 inch "GT Stomper" for my nine yr old son whilst my eleven yr old son rides a 5 year old, 7 speed - twenty inch Schwinn.

My eleven yr old does nicely to keep up with us on our bigger and faster bikes. His bike is much much more agile over jumps and tight tracks. He now wants to upgrade to a larger 26" bike. Due to his age and height, frame choice is crucial as he is going via fast development spurts. He is currently just that small as well short for a medium frame dimension. We are waiting till his subsequent birthday prior to choosing a great mountain bike with a bigger frame size that he will not outgrow as well rapidly.

I must commend my son as he has learnt that there is a distinction between a inexpensive bike, a great bike and a reasonable bike. We said we would appear at a GT aggressor, a affordable bike, great for its price variety nevertheless, he has his eyes on the Mongoose Tyax Comp or if he can stretch his financial savings a GT Avalanche one.
