What is a dual suspension mountain bike?

A dual suspension mountain bike is designed with both front and rear suspension systems to tackle challenging off-road terrains. While a regular mountain bike is still a great option for off-road cycling, the dual suspension provides additional comfort and control. The suspension systems consist of shock absorbers that help to absorb impacts from uneven surfaces, bumps, and obstacles. The front suspension, usually found in the fork, helps in smoothing out the terrain, while the rear suspension, located at the frame, further enhances comfort and control. Compared to hardtail mountain bikes, which only have front suspension, dual suspension bikes provide a more forgiving riding experience and better manoeuvrability on tough trails.

What to look for in a dual suspension mountain bike

Our dual suspension bikes will be designed with a lightweight alloy to create less drag, but we also have models in a durable steel. 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 crucial, 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. Progear Bikes provides a range of options and expert advice to help you select the best dual suspension mountain bike that suits your specific needs and preferences.

Dual Suspension Mountain Bikes FAQ

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.
Do you offer Afterpay or buy now pay later services?

We offer multiple buy now pay later services, including Afterpay and ZipPay, which allow you to spread out payments to suit your budget. Spread out payments on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis and receive your dual suspension bike right away.
