how about aggressive hardtail?what category it is?by theway nice video

@adventuresportu 2 года назад

The Agressive Hardtails fit more into the trail category. They feature larger suspension forks, slacker geometries, wider and knobbier tires, and many come with dropper posts. Hope this helps!

Simple and clear comparison of XC, Trail, Enduro, and DH bikes.

@MTNMAX88 10 месяцев назад

This was the best comparison I could find. I live in Monterey so it’s awesome you’re up in Santa Cruz. Thanks for the great video

@larrnt Год назад

Thanks for the simple explanation! It might be surprising to most seasoned mtn bike riders, the various categories of mtn bikes can be confusing/intimidating for newbies so this is super helpful!

@greyman8005 Год назад

Remember when you were a kid it was called "A bike" and it was just as fun? Actually I remember two district categores of bike growing up: 1) with playing cards in the spokes 2) whisper mode aka stealth mode

@fotiskarakaisis399 8 месяцев назад

Honestly, this could not have been structured any better. It is a phenomenal and concise introduction to a very perplexing subject, at least for a complete novice such as myself. Thanks a ton! A huge plus was the lack of a frustrating British accent which made it even clearer.

@sunflowerlove60 2 месяца назад

I got a hard tail mountain bike and I love it! With a squishy seat cover I don’t miss the back suspension at all and I feel like I can ride over anything and go uphill and down and around sharp corners, having a blast!

@ApfelSgt Месяц назад

I never want a hard tail again after driving with a full suspension for a time! That’s really a night and day difference! Just alone because of the driving comfort!

@commontreads273 15 дней назад

This a great video. I bought a gen 3 marlin on a whim and fell in love with it. Decided I wanted more of a trail bike, didn’t know differences going into it. After some research, the old marlin frame is much more XC where as the gen 3 has the same slacker angle as a trail bike. Looks like I can just upgrade some parts and have a decent trail bike to learn on!

@coolguy8709 8 месяцев назад

Nice explonation ❤️ Can you link the pdf?

@CT-Training 7 месяцев назад

I have a trek Rascoe 7. It’s a hard tail but it’s more of a trail bike. 140mm of air fork suspension, 2.8 inch tires, and a dropper post

@user-lk8ei7yl2m 2 месяца назад

The canyon strive is the best enduro bike cause you can ride it anywhere because it has a shape shifter which allows you to change the rear shock between 130/160mm of travel which makes it the ultimate mountain bike.❤

@juluisreyes9094 Год назад

Dude, there is also the dirtjump discipline.

@Diguitarist 11 месяцев назад

Excellent video. Curious where a fat tire bike falls in this spectrum? Aware it's an outlier but I'm guessing more on the XC or trail areas. Is that accurate?

@dylanhart6709 2 месяца назад

Just bought a specialised full sus DH bike man its so hard to ride up steep inclines 😂

@user-sh3cl3qb4v Месяц назад

Can't be more agree with you with what you say from 2:30 to 3.00. my case and I think the least of the people do... Then they are experts are telling you have to have all the features and spend all your money and they don't know anything about MTB variety

@whereislilll12 6 месяцев назад

Hi! I just got into MTB and got my own bike, just wondering, do all of the categories listed have their own hardtails, full sus, etc?

@Zedial 4 месяца назад

I would never want to race downhill on a hard tail. Some categories don’t include them in that case. I wouldn’t really want to race enduro with one either but plenty of people do recreationally.

@Farhaz303 Год назад

Hey I got a question, I can't find an answer for it. My bike has a SEATPOST suspension, does it make my bike FULL SUSPENSION or just normal Hardtail?

@gavinbright697 11 месяцев назад

"Full suspension" means that the rear wheel can move up and down relative to the rest of the bike, so seat post suspension does not make it a hardtail.

@awangkumohamaddanishbinawangja 6 месяцев назад

What if I turn my gravel bike to xc?

@timescueta57 2 года назад

Is it safe to put a suspension fork with a 120-130 mm travel in a hard tail xc bike?

@kettlebelleddie5272 Год назад

depends on the bike. The brand should specify on their website

@adventuresportu Год назад

@kettlebell eddie said what I would say

@mislavjelinic5442 Год назад

Nice video. What about all mountain bikes?

@adventuresportu Год назад

"all mountain" is another way of saying "trail" bike in my opinion. I could be wrong but thats what I've always assumed.

@mislavjelinic5442 Год назад

@@adventuresportu I have norco sight and it's 150/140. I like to call it all mountain because it's right in the middle between trail and enduro.

@gustavosil8576 2 года назад

what is your favorite category and which is the most popular?

@adventuresportu 2 года назад

My favorite category is enduro and because I can use it for all types of riding that I like to do. But I would say the most popular is the Trail category, and the most common bike you'll see is the cross country hardtail

@gustavosil8576 2 года назад

@@adventuresportu but depending on the terrain that is not too hard, a trail bike would be better because of the weight

@edilarina Год назад

MTB didnt start as a full suspension

@Ufcfreak97 2 месяца назад

Maybe I just suck, I don’t wanna die going up hills and live for the down hills… I don’t mind don’t technical stuff on trails…. What would I consider myself ? ( I don’t live to ride up hard stuff, I’m only going up to come back down )
