Selecting Good Mountain Bikes begins with choosing the correct kind of mountain bike (MTB) for you. Yes, it all comes back down to the type of riding you do.

My present bike is thirteen years old and still going strong. The questions I am about to share with you, are the ones I used when studying good mountain bikes for myself. Lately I used the exact same questions to discover a great MTB for my 9 yr old son's birthday. I began studying kids mountain bikes and utilized the same concerns to help select the correct bike for him. I am pleased to say, the bike is a perfect fit for him and has renewed his adore of bike riding.

So how do you go about choosing the right bike? Merely by asking a series of questions designed assist you select the best 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 utilized for jumping and aerial tricks?

The type of riding you intend to undertake will greatly influence the style and bike configuration. Even though most mountain bikes look similar, there is a huge difference in frame types, steering geometry, suspension, gearing as nicely as the wheels, brakes and tyres.

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

If you intend to use it exclusively off-street and mostly more than rough terrain appear for a greater end full suspension model as these will have a greater range of suspension travel and a heavier much more robust frame and brakes. This will help with the comfort and stability of your ride.

Downhill MTB's must be very heavy duty in style and have lower, 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 experienced rider.

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

The final thing you need to determine is, do you want good, or do you want inexpensive. The words "great" and "cheap" are not synonymous, nor are great bikes usually discovered in low cost department shops.

Whilst studying Children mountain bikes, I discover a renewed passion for the sport as each my sons now have mountain bikes. We bought a 21 speed - 24 inch "GT Stomper" for my nine year old son while my eleven yr old son rides a 5 year old, 7 speed - 20 inch Schwinn.

My eleven year old does well to keep up with us on our larger and quicker bikes. His bike is a lot much more agile over jumps and tight tracks. He now desires to upgrade to a larger 26" bike. Due to his age and height, frame selection is crucial as he is going via rapid development spurts. He is currently just that little too brief for a medium frame dimension. We are waiting till his next birthday before selecting a good mountain bike with a larger frame dimension that he will not outgrow as well quickly.

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