A hardtail bike is categorized by its use of only front suspension. This means the front of the bike absorbs shocks through the suspension on its forks however the rear of the bike remains rigid due to lack of suspension. A hardtail bike is perfect for gentle trails, miles on the road, flat tracks and gravel roads. A hardtail is perfect for those who'd like a dynamic bike which can handle rough terrain but also remains quick and agile.

Cross country or XC bikes differ from hardtails in that they make use of front and rear suspension meaning they can absorb impacts from both the front and rear of the bike. Cross country bikes are generally used for rough and rocky terrain, touring and racing. These bikes are fast, agile and are the choice of pro riders around the world when entering cross country races. 

Want a bike that does it all? Look no further. Enduro bikes come stacked full of features which help them navigate rough terrain, drops, jumps and high speed descents. These bikes typically come with a generous amount of suspension, aggressive dimensions which allow for riders to position themselves properly whilst riding downhill and the all important dropper post meaning when you're jumping or descending you can have your saddle slammed.    

Downhill bikes are built to traverse down trails, mountains and jumps as quickly as possible whilst maintaining stability and comfort for the rider. These bikes pack the most suspension out of all the disciplines and are designed to absorb huge impacts. Downhill bikes are generally a bit heavier allowing them to handle big hits and cater for suspension with generous travel. Looking to blast down a hill as fast as possible whilst taking hits? This is the bike for you.
