What Is a Hardtail Mountain Bike?

A hardtail mountain bike is a type of mountain bike that features a suspension fork on the front but does not have a rear suspension. This design provides a rigid frame at the rear, making the bike more efficient and lightweight than full-suspension bikes. Hardtail mountain bikes are also more affordable, easier to maintain, and ideal for cross-country and trail riding.

We have a range of hardtail mountain bikes for sale here at Sprockets Cycles. You can shop online or visit us at our workshop just 20 minutes from Glasgow, with free parking and a large area for test riding before you purchase.
