Bike technology is getting complicated today, and almost new bikes from whole brands are full suspension bikes. It means that the price will be growth for the additional parts, like the rear shock or rear suspension. This is an expensive part, especially when you buy it from the brands like FOX or Rockshox, the two main players in bike suspension technology. A high-end rear suspension maybe can be used to buy a starter bike or mid-end bike. With that fact, hardtail bike becomes more simple, and old-looked; with the off-roads riding trends today, hardtail slowly left and the riders start to use full suspension bike. But wait, dude! I hope you don't underestimate the hardtail bikes, even when you are off-road rider.
Hardtail is just for on-road, maybe light off-road. Better you erase that sentence, and open your eyes because there are many high-quality hardtail bikes that can be used even for all-mountain, even free-ride!
One of the brands that produce hardtail bike for all-mountain and trails purpose is the REEB, with their new hardtail product for all-mountain and trails! This is regarded as single speed chain 29er with steel frame. Why this bike is using single speed chain, it said by Chad Melis, the Marketing Manager, that they want something different.
The hardtail it stronger than full suspension bike in the ability to climb, and the REEB cycles make that the pedaling is smooth, with big chainring there. But, this bike also claimed strong in a down-way, though it is a single-speed, hardtail, and 29er bike. It may that the 140mm fork is very helpful for this bike for a down-way. For the information, this bike is using part:
140mm travel FOX Float 34
