I want to buy a mountain bike but can't decide if I should get Full suspension or Dual Suspension?

Question

I am going to use the bike mostly for off road biking (trails) down hills, uphills, etc. The associate at the Sporting goods store wasn't too experience at this stuff. Help!

Answer 1

Full Suspension and Dual Suspension are the same thing.

If your trails are mostly smooth, perhaps with some buried boulders and rain ruts, you'll want a HARDTAIL bike, probably somewhere in the $400 to $600 range.

Full suspension bikes are generally very bad for climbing.

Answer 2

Welcome, wing nut.

Answer 3

f-s and d-s are the samething
