hardtail VS fullsuspension, hardtails don't recoil
Well I need a new bike.
I might be able to get a bike store to help me seeing how I have no money. But contemplation I have is that I've seen many guys crash due to their full suspension recoiling, of which the recoil through them out of balance whilst on a rock garden or such. Hardtails don't do this. I'm beginning to think if you develop the skills of consciousness of physics on an advanced level, hardtails are better for obtuse contorted terrain, you can take a hardtail over anything a fullsuspension is usually preferred over a hardtail. |

Sounds like sour grapes to me. A properly setup suspension with rebound and compression dampening should not "recoil." Mike |

A properly setup suspension with rebound and compression dampening should not "recoil." Mike A hard tail makes you makes you learn to ride it has no mercy you must position you body properly and handle the bike correctly,It is the only type of bike you should ride when learning to do technical climbing and descending ,once you have learned proper bike handling skills a full squish bike (when set up properly) will enable you to ride faster and farther with more comfort,but if you start with a full suspension bike you will probably never learn proper bike handling skills. |

Agreed. I started on a fully rigid bike. Still it doesn't have anything to do with an improper suspension set up causing the bike to "recoil" on the rider. Mike |

You have not said what type of riding you plan to do. If it is downhill racing , full suspension is definately the way to go. A small lump at high speed that the suspension could have absorbed will be enough to throw you off with a hard tail. For slow speed descents totally under control a hard tail should give better control but in most cases their will be a steep section or jump that you will have to drop down and suspension will help here |
