Most MTBs are equipped with certain amount of suspensions to keep you comfortable on rugged surfaces. But not all bikers and riding terrains demand a suspension. Full-suspension bike fans will agree that the rear suspension gives more comfort when you are tackling over tricky terrains while smooth off-road biking becomes more fun with lightweight and stiffer hardtail bikes. Better suspension with flatter tiers helps in better traction which makes it easier to glide through rocky, muddy and steep hills trails. Rear suspension can absorb more shocks on the back making it more comfortable for long rides but the extra added tube and bigger tire makes it heavier at the same time it takes more energy to paddle. In simple terms, a full suspension bike will give you more comfort but if you can handle a hardtail on any trail then you will be called superior in biking terms.
