how about aggressive hardtail?what category it is?by theway nice video
The Agressive Hardtails fit more into the trail category. They feature larger suspension forks, slacker geometries, wider and knobbier tires, and many come with dropper posts. Hope this helps!
@@adventuresportu nice.thanks alot dude 💪
Simple and clear comparison of XC, Trail, Enduro, and DH bikes.
I got a hard tail mountain bike and I love it! With a squishy seat cover I don’t miss the back suspension at all and I feel like I can ride over anything and go uphill and down and around sharp corners, having a blast!
Thanks for the simple explanation! It might be surprising to most seasoned mtn bike riders, the various categories of mtn bikes can be confusing/intimidating for newbies so this is super helpful!
Remember when you were a kid it was called "A bike" and it was just as fun?
Actually I remember two district categores of bike growing up:
1) with playing cards in the spokes
2) whisper mode aka stealth mode
Excellent presentation...clear and concise. 👍
Good vid man 👍. Simple, clean, and to the point. I found it very helpful!
Honestly, this could not have been structured any better. It is a phenomenal and concise introduction to a very perplexing subject, at least for a complete novice such as myself. Thanks a ton!
A huge plus was the lack of a frustrating British accent which made it even clearer.
Best explanation of the differences I have seen. Thanks!!!
Simple and direct explanation. Thanks.
This was the best comparison I could find. I live in Monterey so it’s awesome you’re up in Santa Cruz. Thanks for the great video
Excellent information, and excellent explanation.
Great intro.. thanks!
I have a trek Rascoe 7. It’s a hard tail but it’s more of a trail bike. 140mm of air fork suspension, 2.8 inch tires, and a dropper post
The canyon strive is the best enduro bike cause you can ride it anywhere because it has a shape shifter which allows you to change the rear shock between 130/160mm of travel which makes it the ultimate mountain bike.❤
Nice explonation ❤️
Can you link the pdf?
Great video!
2:36 dope racing fit. i go ucsc as well, and am joining the mtb club this coming fall. super pumped!!
Best explanation Iv found so far! Great video
Awesome, thank you!
Excellent video. Curious where a fat tire bike falls in this spectrum? Aware it's an outlier but I'm guessing more on the XC or trail areas. Is that accurate?
Dude, there is also the dirtjump discipline.
What if I put double crown forks on a xc bike
Just bought a specialised full sus DH bike man its so hard to ride up steep inclines 😂
In the Philippines we have this thing called XConcrete where XC mtbs are used for road racing along with road bikes 🤪🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂
What if I turn my gravel bike to xc?
MTB didnt start as a full suspension
Where is the pdf file?
Hi! I just got into MTB and got my own bike, just wondering, do all of the categories listed have their own hardtails, full sus, etc?
I would never want to race downhill on a hard tail. Some categories don’t include them in that case. I wouldn’t really want to race enduro with one either but plenty of people do recreationally.
Hey I got a question, I can't find an answer for it.
My bike has a SEATPOST suspension, does it make my bike FULL SUSPENSION or just normal Hardtail?
"Full suspension" means that the rear wheel can move up and down relative to the rest of the bike, so seat post suspension does not make it a hardtail.
Is it safe to put a suspension fork with a 120-130 mm travel in a hard tail xc bike?
depends on the bike. The brand should specify on their website
@kettlebell eddie said what I would say
Hey bro you still making videos? Are you trying to grow the channel?
Nice video. What about all mountain bikes?
"all mountain" is another way of saying "trail" bike in my opinion. I could be wrong but thats what I've always assumed.
@@adventuresportu I have norco sight and it's 150/140. I like to call it all mountain because it's right in the middle between trail and enduro.
@@adventuresportu Btw your video is very detailed and helpfull (most importantly to new riders). Cheers. 🤙🏻
@@mislavjelinic5442 love it. Thank you and ride on brother!
Maybe I just suck, I don’t wanna die going up hills and live for the down hills… I don’t mind don’t technical stuff on trails…. What would I consider myself ? ( I don’t live to ride up hard stuff, I’m only going up to come back down )
what is your favorite category and which is the most popular?
My favorite category is enduro and because I can use it for all types of riding that I like to do. But I would say the most popular is the Trail category, and the most common bike you'll see is the cross country hardtail
@@adventuresportu but depending on the terrain that is not too hard, a trail bike would be better because of the weight
Dj didn’t get any recognition
the video is great but the thumbnail is just...
