If you have decided to buy yourself a mountain bike, then you will need to get one that suits you perfectly. This will help to make your rides more fun and enjoyable. Mountain bicycles nowadays come in all shapes, colors and sizes, making it suitable for everyone, kids and adults alike. Knowing the right type of bike for you can be hard, but basically it depends on your riding preferences and where you live.
As mountain bicycles have different categories, you need to decide what you will use the bike for. The type of such bicycles available are Cross country (or XC), Trail bikes, Free ride, and Downhill bikes. First thing you need to consider is the how you want to ride. Will you be spending your time riding smooth trails, climbing mountain, doing stunts, going downhill or just to have fun and chill?
Look at where you live, if you want to be climbing mountains or dirt biking, but there are only smooth pavements in your area or simple nature trails in your area of the woods, then there is no point for you to get a downhill bicycle. Unless you plan to commute to an area to do downhill biking, then maybe you can get a downhill bicycle. But how many times are you willing to commute? It takes a bit of thought so that you do not end up buying a bike you can't use properly. You should consider getting trail bike as this bike is made as a cross between an XC and a downhill bike.
The XC bike is lighter and does not require much pedaling effort but might not be the most comfortable bike or the best bike for rough terrain. The Free ride bike on the other hand is great for hard trails, stunts and jumps. They can get you up a hill, but it will not be an easy task because of their weight, but the Free ride bike is a tough bike. Probably the most undiscovered bike is the downhill specific bikes. These bikes are built solely for the purpose of racing downhill. It will not be an easy task to get up the mountain with this type of bike, but once you are at the top, this bike will be the fastest way to get you down regardless of how hard the trail would be.
The trick to get the best bike for you is to be honest about what it will be used for. If you want to use it to lose weight, why get an XC? If you are just going to the store, why get a downhill bike? Make sure that you know where you will be using it as well. There is no point in buying a bike that is not practical for your usage, right? If you are going to use it for school, your terrain would be asphalt and the streets, so you will need a bike that can comfortably get you to your destination with minimal effort.
