Full suspension mountain bikes

Without shocks, riding on a rocky trail can be very detrimental to a biker’s body, especially their arms. Although front suspension is standard for all mountain bicycles, full suspension mountain bikes have become increasingly popular because they provide comfort and more control on rough trails.

What companies manufacture full suspension mountain bikes?
• Kona
• GT
• Trek
• Ibex

Full suspension mountain bikes do have some drawbacks, however. Hardbacks (front suspension only) are more affordable and they’re more efficient during a strenuous climb. Dirt jumpers also favor hardbacks because of the support they provide while pumping off a jump.
