What makes a mountain bike worth more.

                 The original build of the bike. When a bicycle is received from the freight deliverer the bike is in a box. The dealer has to assemble the bicycle. The build can take 7 minutes to over an hour. The original build is what makes a bike last longer and stay in adjustment. NDBS we take an hour to build a bike. 

Hardtail

29er

Full Suspension XC

Full Suspension Trail

Full Suspension Freeride

Full Suspension Downhill

Trail Mountain Bikes - These are basically a modification to Cross Country Mountain Bikes, with softer suspension systems to handle harder and more technical obstacles. The only downside to this type is that pedaling may require more effort from the rider because of the increased suspension travel.

These come with both front fork suspension and rear suspension integrated in the bike frame. These bikes somewhat resemble a motorcycle. They offer much more riding comfort than hardtail but weighs more than the mid-weight hardtails. Due to advances in technology, full-suspension maintenance has become easier. Some bike suspension companies have come out with suspension lock-out. This gives a full-suspension bike a stiff rear similar to that of a hardtail. This is advantageous during off the saddle climbs and sprints to the finish.

Downhill Mountain Bikes - As the name suggests, Downhill Mountain Bikes are designed for downhill trails and race courses with steep drops. They have more suspension travel than any other type of Mountain Bike. These tend to be heavier (over 40 pounds), but are made as light as possible to make them suitable for racing. Since they are built for fast downhill runs, they are very hard to use for climbs. They are often equipped with hydraulic disc brakes to help them stop during high speeds.

Freeride Mountain Bikes - These look somewhat like Downhill Mountain Bikes, can weigh almost as much, but are designed to be easier to pedal. Freeride Mountain Bikes are made to function both as a Cross Country and a Downhill Mountain Bike, but may not perform as efficiently as the two when it comes to their respective features.

These bikes are used for hitting jumps as well as for street riding and slalom races. Some people refer to Dirt Jump Mountain Bikes as oversized BMX bikes that have front suspension. They are typically made of very strong materials to be able to take the impact of jumps and their suspension systems are just a tad softer than those of Cross Country Mountain Bikes.

Dirt Jumping

These are bikes without rear suspension integrated into the frame. However, to improve comfort, bike suspension forks may be added as an upgrade. Most Mountain Bikes nowadays come standard with a suspension fork. Hardtail bikes weigh 2-3 pounds less than the lightest full-suspension Mountain Bikes. An advantage that a hardtail has over a full-suspension Mountain Bike is that during sprints, you don't waste energy. Thou getting very close to hardtails,  full-suspension bikes bob slightly when standing out of the bike saddle. Hardtail frames do have an amount of shock-absorbing characteristic due to the improved . Starting out with a hardtail Mountain Bike is not a bad move. You will save on a lot of extra weight and you will be able to have good pedaling technique without the bouncing feeling. These bikes are great for new riders getting into the sport, competitive racers, and those looking to enjoy the simple aspects of the sport.

Big wheels roll faster! These bikes stick to the ground and carve a smooth line. 29in bikes run on 29in wheels fitted with a big fat tires. The advantages include better traction, more stability and an amazingly smooth ride- it’s a bit like running big fat tyres on a 26in wheel, but with more of the advantages, and less of the disadvantages.
