When choosing a suitable mountain bike, the suspension plays a role even if it is not a matter of deciding between a full-suspension and front-suspension only bike. This is because the suspension travel also differs greatly from model to model. If the MTB is to be used for downhill riding and for big jumps, a different suspension is required than for a cross country bike, which is mainly ridden with solid ground contact. Depending on the place of use, the suspension travel will increase. While classic bikes without rear suspension have a travel of about 100 mm, some downhill bikes even have a travel of up to 240 mm. MTB Fullys and Enduros lie in the range between these two extremes.
