Why a Hardtail Mountain Bike. Simplicity is key in designing a hardtail mountain bike. Their simple build provides an easy ride with limited opportunities for your ride to be ruined by mechanical failure. The lack of rear suspension can lead to a hard ride but, this can be the perfect time to refine your skills. What does it mean for you as a rider? You are likely to spend less time on maintenance and repair of your hardtail mountain bike and enjoy more time riding.

Value. A big benefit to buying a hardtail is the limited effect they have on your bank account. Hardtails can be a very cost-effective solution to beginning your MTB journey without compromising on quality. Thanks to the simplicity of the frames, it costs less to manufacture them; those savings are passed onto the customer while also being used to spec higher-end parts.

Frames. Frame material plays a significant role in the ride quality of a hardtail MTB. While steel is heavier, it provides a more compliant and smoother ride on the trails. Steel is often the material of choice for hardtails designed for aggressive riding. Alloy (a.k.a. Aluminum) is marginally lighter than steel and is found on most budget-friendly recreational and XC hardtails. Alloy is a stiffer material that can be manipulated easier, resulting in a quick, agile and good-looking bike.

Carbon fiber is a premium material, and this is reflected in the price. Thanks to malleable fibers, a frame's ride characteristics can be tuned throughout the frame. Lightweight carbon fiber frames combine the best features of alloy and steel; they are laterally stiff while remaining vertically compliant, resulting in great power delivery with insurmountable comfort.

Determining your riding style, the terrain you will ride, and your budget is the first step to finding the right hardtail for you.
