What is a Dual Suspension Mountain Bike?
A dual suspension mountain bike is designed with both front and rear suspension systems for tackling challenging off-road terrains. These suspension systems act as shock absorbers that reduce the impact of an uneven surface. The front suspension evens out the terrain, while the rear suspension enhances comfort and control.

What is a Dual Suspension Mountain Bike?
A dual suspension mountain bike is designed with both front and rear suspension systems for tackling challenging off-road terrains. These suspension systems act as shock absorbers that reduce the impact of an uneven surface. The front suspension evens out the terrain, while the rear suspension enhances comfort and control. Compared to hardtail mountain bikes, which only have front suspension, dual suspension bikes create a more forgiving riding experience and better manoeuvrability on tough trails and downhill riding.
Who Needs a Dual Suspension Mountain Bike?
If you plan on tackling rough and technical trails, dual suspension mountain bikes are highly recommended. The additional rear suspension offers a more comfortable ride with greater traction, giving you the confidence to ride where you please.
Choosing the Right Dual Suspension Bike for You
Most dual suspension bikes will be designed with a lightweight alloy frame to reduce drag and maximise handling, but we also have models in a durable steel for a stronger frame. If you want to truly accelerate your ride and take on rougher terrains, you can upgrade to an electric dual suspension bike, providing motor powered pedal-assist so you can go further with ease. Many users also enjoy our foldable models, making it even easier to travel with or store away. Gear ratios are also important, as they affect your ability to tackle steep climbs and speedy descents. Also ensure that you pick out a size that's compatible with your height. You can also check out our blog on choosing the right mountain bike for you.

Do I need a dual suspension mountain bike?
While it ultimately depends on your riding preferences and the terrain you plan to tackle, a dual suspension mountain bike is highly recommended for riders who frequently encounter rough and challenging trails. The additional rear suspension offers increased comfort, control, and traction, allowing you to ride with confidence over various terrains.
-
How does a dual suspension mountain bike work?
Dual suspension mountain bikes utilise a combination of front and rear shock absorbers to absorb impacts and maintain traction. The shocks compress and rebound in response to bumps and obstacles, minimizing the transfer of vibrations to the rider and improving overall comfort and control.
-
What's the difference between a dual suspension mountain bike and a hardtail mountain bike?
The main difference between dual suspension mountain bikes and hardtail mountain bikes lies in the presence or absence of rear suspension. Dual suspension bikes offer both front and rear suspension, providing enhanced comfort and control over rough terrain. Hardtail bikes, on the other hand, only have front suspension, which makes them lighter and more efficient for smoother trails or climbs. The stiffer set-up from hardtails creates greater pedalling efficiency and a good amount of frame flex. This is better suited to smoother trails and less intensive climbs.
-
Are dual suspension mountain bikes durable?
Dual suspension mountain bikes are designed to withstand the demands of off-road riding. The frames are engineered to be strong and durable, capable of handling rough trails and absorbing impacts. However, these bikes can necessitate more maintenance compared to a standard hardtail or rigid mountain bike. This is due to the increased number of moving parts that make up the bike, such as the extra rear shock, linkages and frame that all need to be checked, cleaned and adjusted regularly. It's essential to properly maintain and service your bike to ensure its longevity and performance.
