Newbies guide to getting into mountain biking

Everyone who starts out in mountain biking follows a similar path and asks the same set of questions. So we decided to put together the Newbies guide to getting into mountain biking. Each week we will answer a few common questions that pop up.

 

I am starting mountainbiking, what bike must I buy?

The first thing is to decide how and why you want to ride, for example racing, recreational, trails, downhill, stage races. This will give you some idea as to what type of bike to buy, hardtail, full suspension, 29er, long travel short travel etc. The second step is to understand the options and technology and what is available out there. There are so many options and it comes down to comparing the options and chosing the right type of bike, spec level, size and price. Best source for this is our Buyers guide which contains some basic information on what to look out for when choosing a bike.
