When people to our shop looking for a mountain bike in Los Angeles, many are undecided about what kind of suspension they need. Previously, we posted about some of the reasons our customers choose hardtail bikes, and today we will talk about the benefits of full suspension.
Full suspension brings unparalleled comfort, as well as traction, and control. There is nothing smoother, and these bikes are designed to blaze up hills, through rough terrain, without sacrificing that smoothness and control. For this reason, they tend to be the preference for technical trail riders. They don't sacrifice much speed for this smoothness, and their comfort on rocky hillsides really is unsurpassed. Not only are they more comfortable, but the control and superior traction of full suspension allows you to cut through crazy terrain that mountain bikers back in the day would have considered unrideable.
With all the advancements full suspension models have seen in the past ten years, their popularity has skyrocketed. They are now almost as light as rear suspension models. The advent of rear suspension lockout mechanisms made these bikes competitive on uphill climbs, and since then we have seen their popularity explode, even in the pro ranks where historically hardtail ruled due to their feather weight. Now the weight difference is small, so many riders are choosing full suspension for its other benefits. If comfort, control, and traction are important to you, consider our full suspension at Pat’s 605 Cyclery in Los Angeles.
