Mountain bikes are used off-road and therefore have a suspension system that helps to absorb shocks and vibrations. In a hardtail, this suspension is only installed in the front fork and the rear part of the bike is stiff, as the name suggests. In contrast, the MTB-Fully has an additional damping integrated under the saddle. This damping allows you to have as much traction as possible at all times. It reacts very sensitively to roots, stones and branches and absorbs the shocks completely, so that the bike does not jump and the traction is maintained. Even in complicated downhill passages, it is thus possible to keep control of the MTB. Of course, complicated additional damping is also associated with an extra weight that has to be dragged up the mountain. Whether the riding comfort is worth this greater effort is something you have to decide for yourself. Alternatively, lighter hardtail mountain bikes are an option. When climbing, the saved weight can add to the enjoyment. However, it must be reckoned with the fact that in the downhill segments a cautious action becomes necessary. If the bike starts to bounce, it is almost impossible to regain control. Because when the wheels are in the air, steering maneuvers are ineffective.
