With so many options available, finding the best full suspension mountain bike is a difficult process even if you’re shopping for one brand. Frame style, geometry and components affect the price and ride quality of any full suspension mountain bike. Here are a few of the best overall full suspensions mountain bikes representing a great combination of features and affordability:

Specialized Stumpjumper starting at £2,000
Although the Sumpjumper was first released more than 25 years ago, Specialized has not stopped making advances to improve their bestselling product.

The Rocky Mountain Altitude Series
Rocky Mountain has always designed their bikes with the rider in mind and the Altitude is no exception. Updated for 2011, the Altitude 30, 50 and 70 are ideal for all-mountain riding. Front suspension featuring 140mm of custom-valved travel and rear Fox Float shocks provide a comfortable and efficient ride that responds to trail input only.

The best full suspension mountain bike is always one that fits your riding style and budget. Most of all, the best bike is one that’s fun to ride. With some many options to choose from, it’s important to find a bike the fits your current needs, but also offers enough upgrades that you won’t have to invest in a lot of aftermarket parts.

As an industry leader since the beginning, Rocky full suspension mountain bikes are the product of decades of engineering and a passion for off-road cycling. The Rocky Mountain produces exceptional all-mountain full suspension mountain bikes that are light enough for long distance XC rides, heavy enough to handle blistering free rides and ready to meet any obstacle on the trail.

Not only are Rocky full suspension mountain bikes fun to ride, owners are confident they are one of the best all-around bikes for the money with a ride quality that equals or bests the competition. Although Rocky full suspension mountain bikes are built to heavy super cross country specs, trail riders say the extra weight that slows you on steep ascents is handy on the other side of the hill when you have a great combination of speed and stability with the added benefit of responsive handling.

The cutting-edge Altitude trail bike and the newest Slayer SuperXC both feature bent top tubes to increase stand-over clearance whilst the Element features a straight top tube based on triangular geometry. Triangles play a big part in the stable frame design and patented 3DLink suspension system Rocky Mountain has developed for increased efficiency and stability in races and long-distance rides. Rocky Mountain uses a simple numbering system to differentiate their model options. The Super Cross Country Rocky Element 30 starts around £1,800 with team bikes and top of the line carbon alloy models going for £4,000 to £6,000. Upgraded Altitude models generally retail in the same price range.

Rocky full suspension mountain bikes feature custom-valved Fox Float shocks in the rear, which deliver approximately 140mm of travel for a comfortable bottomless feel with a quick rebound tailored to the rider’s weight. Intuitive Fox forks featuring responsive Fox Isolated Technology (FIT) with lockout and rebound adjustments and 100mm of travel are included with most top of the line Rocky full suspension mountain bikes.

Rocky Mountain Bicycles works extensively with RockShox, who supplies Solo Air forks and air shocks with rebound and lockout for Rocky Mountain’s entry-level Altitude and Element full suspension mountain bikes. Rocky full suspension mountain bikes in the Altitude series are also available with 29 inch tires for riders who want to push the limits.

To prevent chainsuck and pedal bob, all bikes in the Altitude series feature a SmoothLink suspension to minimize pedal feedback and keep chain torque parallel on steep climbs. Rocky full suspension mountain bikes also incorporate an advanced 76-degree seat post to help riders achieve gravity-defying ascents. The Slayer XC, which sells for £2,300 to £3,000, is another great full suspension all-mountain bike for all-mountain applications. The new Slayer features a deluxe Talas fork from Fox along with an advanced LC2R (Low Centre Counter Rotating) suspension system that responds to trail input for nimble handling and a firm pedalling platform.

Rocky full suspension mountain bikes feature advanced engineering backed up by quality components from well-respected manufacturers. With DT Swiss hubs, Stans ZTR tubeless ready rims, Juicy disc brakes by AVID and a long list of upgraded components, it’s hard to beat the value of Rocky full suspension mountain bikes.

Cannondale full suspension mountain bikes have been completely revamped for the 2011 season. New designs combine elements from the popular Jekyll frame to create competitive full suspension bikes with great stability. Based on the principle that simplicity, great materials and advanced engineering can deliver the best results in races on rugged terrain, Cannondale has developed serious workhorses in their Scalpel and RZ One Twenty full suspension bikes.

Two essential elements set Cannondale full suspension mountain bikes apart from other brands. In addition to Cannondale’s cutting-edge aluminium and BallisTec carbon alloy construction, the unique frame design features a slight elbow in the top tube for better stand-over clearance. Cannondale full suspension mountain bikes feature single-pivot and zero-pivot rear suspension systems for efficient impact rebound and competition-winning speed.

The RZ One Twenty series is the keystone of Cannondale’s range of full suspension mountain bikes. Starting at £1.500, the RZ One Twenty 4 is the most affordable Cannondale full suspension mountain bike. However, riders also get a tremendous value in this competitively priced package. Other RZ One Twenty models, including RZ One Twenty 1, RZ One Twenty 2, and RZ One Twenty 3 are priced at £2.500, £1.900 and £1.600 respectively.

All RZ One Twenty models feature a super-durable one-piece integrated backbone (OPI) fork and Cannondale’s proprietary SmartFormed aluminium-alloy frame for excellent impact resistance and weight reduction. Cannondale’s detail-oriented construction pairs high-end components with proprietary technology to deliver the best performance on the trail. Depending on the model, you’ll find Monarch Rock Shox in the rear, RST Deuce Air, Solo Air or the famous one-sided Lefty suspension fork offering 120 mm of bottomless travel in front, Shimano cogs, SRAM derailleurs and a host of other top-notch components. One-click lockout and adjustable rebound are also available with several RZ One Twenty models.

Since its introduction nearly one decade ago, the Cannondale Scalpel has been making waves in the industry and winning races on the course. As the name implies, you’ll be carving trails with surgical precision on this advanced racing machine. The one-sided Lefty fork has been a remarkable breakthrough for Cannondale allowing the company to reduce weight dramatically and eliminate the need for bushings and bearings. Compression rebound pistons provide a firm bottomless feel with specially tuned valves based on frame size and anticipated rider weight for improved efficiency in the race.

Cannondale’s top of the line team-replica Scalpel retails for £7.500 while Scalpel 1, 2 and 3 retail for £5.000, £3.700 and £2.900 respectively. Designed for speed, the Cannondale Scalpel line features ultra-light and super-durable BallisTec carbon frames that weigh in at a mere 1580 grams, including the rear shock.

With 80 mm of travel and a zero-pivot rear suspension system that delivers linear impact rebound across the frame, Cannondale full suspension mountain bikes are designed to provide for race-winning power. Rear shocks from Fox, tubeless Mavic wheels and tubeless-ready Schwalbe racing tires are among the options included with Cannondale’s top of the line Scalpel racing bikes.

Overall, Cannondale full suspension mountain bikes are designed to be mean and lean racing machines with a stiff and efficient dual suspension system, lightweight frame, advanced components and industry-leading technology than can withstand rugged conditions on the trail.

Since Specialized Bicycle Components released the first Stumpjumper mountain bike in the early 1980s, the sport and technology has changed dramatically. Today’s Stumpjumper FSR is one of many Specialized full suspension mountain bikes available with an active four-point suspension system featuring advanced AFR BRAIN Fade technology from Fox Racing Shox. The first generation of mountain bikes used traditional rigid frame technology that led eventually to hardtail systems with front suspension. The newest generation of Specialized full suspension mountain bikes uses BRAIN Fade technology to automatically sense impacts associated with natural terrain changes whilst providing a firm surface on hard corners and smooth terrain for maximum power transfer and efficiency on technically challenging terrain.

Specialized full suspension mountain bikes are among the lightest in their class delivering high-performance results that helps riders achieve championship-winning results. The advanced rear suspension uses four strategic pivot points to distribute impact across the frame for a smoother more efficient ride. The unique system can be manually adjusted to accommodate each rider’s weight and riding style for maximum performance on the trail. Specialized mountain bikes and rugged cross country models are loaded with hardware from the best manufacturers. SRAM derailleurs, hydraulic brakes from Avid, Shimano pedal components and advanced forks manufactured by Fox are designed to deliver the best performance.

High-quality components and advanced system technology produces a noticeable ride improvement. Like all full suspension bikes, you can expect to pay a higher premium compared to rigid and hardtail models. Fortunately, Specialized offers a large selection of mountain bikes for cross country, downhill and competitive racing applications with different pricing options. The ever popular Stumpjumper is available with standard competition features for around £1.200 to £1.500 with the top-of-the line Stumpjumper S-Works carbon fibre model selling for roughly £4.000. Frame options available with the Stumpjumper range from £1.050 to £2.050 when purchased a la carte. Entry level mountain bikes with full suspension start at £900 with top of the line models selling for £6,500 or more.

The Enduro, lightweight Epic, Pitch Competition and Pitch Pro models are among the most popular full suspension mountain bikes alongside the multi-functional Stumpjumper. Each Specialized mountain bike model offers specially tuned suspension and frame geometry to suit each application. The Era and a handful of Specialized full suspension mountain bikes are designed for female riders whilst competition models and racing bikes deliver a firmer suspension system for maximum efficiency.

Purchasing a woman’s full suspension mountain bike is much like purchasing one for a man. Naturally, women look for slightly different features in such a bike than men, however, there are a wide selection of these bikes available. A mountain bike featuring a woman’s specific design–WSD–offers a greater likelihood that she will enjoy a more comfortable fit without finding it necessary to modify the bike. Many factors must be considered when purchasing a women’s full suspension mountain bike.

Basic Bicycle Features

No matter the model, women’s bicycle frames typically feature an upper tube that attaches in the middle of the seat tube rather than on top. This allows for a lower stand-over height. The body makes contact with a bicycle in three areas: the peddles, seat and handlebars. Mountain bikes that cater for women, are shorter and smaller, as most women are not as tall or heavy in stature as are men. The majority of models can be custom fitted at a professional bicycle shop. Handlebars on a WSD bike generally have a shorter reach and are narrower in design. The distance between the bottom and top of the handlebars is called the handlebar drop, and as women typically have smaller hands than men, a smaller drop is more appropriate.

Mountain Bike Features

Mountain bikes are manufactured to be durable enough so that the rough treatment and abuse they are subjected to can be well tolerated. They also offer stability and comfort when one rides over rough or inconsistent terrain, as is seen with an authentic mountain that has not been landscaped by human hands. Their durability and high level of performance is due in part, to their fat tires, which do not roll as easily as traditional road tires.

Variety in Design

There are a wide variety of Women’s Full Suspension Mountain Bikes from which to choose, and what may be right for one woman may not be right for the next. One should compare the features and benefits of several models before making a final selection. Some women prefer a single-pivot design which requires little maintenance, as its design is relatively simple.

A sweet-spot design may be ideal as these are a lovely choice in a cross-country, all-purpose mountain bike. With these models, the suspension is somewhat isolated from the pedaling mechanism. One may also wish to consider the purchase of a Horst-link strut design. These are regarded by many to be the best choice in terms of a high performance bike, however, they are heavier and more expensive than other models and may also need more maintenance. A linkage or rocker design provides a very attractive choice for many riders, and as these are more single purpose by design, they are also more suitable for downhill riders.

Choosing the Right Full Suspension Bike

It goes without saying that full suspension bikes are substantially more comfortable than hard tails, with regard to biking over unforgiving terrain. However, one must still make sure that she chooses the best model for her individual needs. Several times a year there seems to be a brilliant, new full suspension design hitting the market, and one must consider these new models whilst still bearing in mind that there are quite a few tried and true favorites out there, as well.

When choosing a bike, one should stand above it and ensure that her feet can comfortably touch the ground. This is an essential consideration with regard to a mountain bike as one might need to jump off on short notice in order to avoid a wipeout. The frame should be one which provides a comfortable, upright riding position for the rider. If the handlebar drop is too short it will inhibit a person’s ability to stand up and pedal, which in turn, can cause the bike to tip backward, especially during climbs on steep terrain.

Once a person has completed a subjective assessment with regard to the feel of the bike, the remainder of the selection process comes down to a matter of personal preference. With a little time and effort, the ideal women’s full suspension mountain bike can be found to suit any budget or lifestyle.

The frame of a bicycle is everything when it comes to cycling. Very simply, without a frame there is no bike. Full suspension mountain bike frames come in a wide variety of models from a multitude of bike manufacturers. Full suspension gives the rider both full front and rear suspension, and has become an increasingly popular choice in bike frames among all kinds of cycling enthusiasts.

There are ever increasing numbers of mountain bikes that now feature full suspension frames. These full suspension mountain bike frames also go by the name of dual suspension frames. Both the rear and front tires are fitted to some form of shock absorber where the tire is attached to the bicycle, which supplies a more stable ride. This is due to both the rear and front wheels being able to travel up and down and being able to absorb the force of any obstacles smacking the wheels.

Full suspension mountain bike frames are generally more expensive than other frames, but this is because of the upgraded performance provided by this type of frame. This type of frame will make the mountain bike much faster on technical and rough sections, as well as providing more downhill speed. Normally, when a bike’s tire strikes an object, the wheel will come flying off the ground which causes the bike to lose speed. With a full suspension mountain bike frame the upward force caused by the obstacle is absorbed and transmitted to the shock absorbers, which keeps the bicycle moving smoothly and able to continue on without a loss of speed.

Full suspension mountain bike frames improve not only the efficiency of a mountain bike, but also provide an increase in safety. While many mountain bikes these days come with full suspension, it was not always this way. When they were first produced, mountain bikes were made with a rigid frame as well as a rigid fork. Front suspension forks started to make their way on to mountain bikes in the early 1990′s, with the full suspension frame being produced a short time later.

With the improved handling when encountering obstacles and the added comfort provided by full suspension mountain bike frames, it’s easy to see why these frames have become a popular choice for riders as well as the manufacturers that produce these bikes and frames. With the ever increasing popularity of mountain bike riding and mountain bike racing, full suspension mountain bike frames have now become the norm rather than the exception.

Kona full suspension mountain bikes are among the top choices in the industry. These full suspension mountain bikes use suspension forks and quality rear shocks to provide a superior riding experience. They also have wide tires that provide excellent road grip, and along with the rear and front suspension supply easy riding over debris, rocks, and roots. There is practically no limit to what a full suspension mountain bike can do, meaning you may reach you own personal limit before you find the limit of this bike.

Kona bikes actually take their name from Hawaii’s Kailua-Kona, a place that the owners were extremely fond of. The names of their models have also taken on volcanic names and names of Hawaiian locations, such as the Cinder Cone, Hei Hei, Hot, and Kilauea. Kona bicycles are all designed with the focus on a particular need or a particular task. Kona takes pride in supplying bikes that have the user in mind, and the specifications they base their bikes on come from what these users have requested when looking for the perfect ride.

One of the top models in Kona’s full suspension bike line is the Kona One20 Primo 2009. The bike features scandium tubing, which is known to be one of the strongest and lightest metals on earth. When added to aluminum alloys, scandium increases the strength of a material by 50 percent. This makes for a bicycle that is 10 to 15 percent lighter than an all aluminum bike, yet is twice as strong as 7005 or 6061 aluminum. Scandium means the bike will come with a lifetime warranty and be a very fast bike, as it will be lighter as well. Scandium is five times stronger than aluminum, but as light as titanium. While it may be half the weight of steel, it is also more durable than carbon.

The Kona One20 Primo also features hydroformed tubing and a sloping top tube. It also comes with a compact rear triangle, magnesium rockers, and asymmetrical chainstays. It also features the Kona walking beam 4-bar linkage system. This system protects the rear shock from side-to-side forces while also allowing different suspension characteristics, and is also known for the plush factor it provides.

Kona full suspension mountain bikes offer great rides at reasonable prices. While the Kona One20 Primo 2009 is among their preferred models, it could be that you may find another model that is better suited for your needs.

The new BMC 2010 bike range makes its UK debut this month, exclusive to Evans Cycles. With Swiss precision engineering, you can ensure optimum peformance and award winning design across the BMC cycle range.

With the arrival of the 2010 Team Machines, there is now a BMC Road Bike for all budgets, from the Street Fire SSX01 at £1199.99 right up to the full carbon fibre Team Machine SLR01 at £4999.99. The new BMC Team Machine SLR01 2010 Road Bike provides the perfect balance between handling comfort, rigidity and light weight design. Offering an entirely carbon construction, right down to the dropouts and cable stops, the Team Machine saves almost 150 grams over the sub kilo Pro Machine. All this whilst improving stiffness in the front end thanks to the tapered steerer tube design.

On top of the reduced weight and handling, BMC further enhanced comfort when designing the 2010 Team Machine. Taking the T.C.C. (Tuned Compliance Concept) to a whole new level, BMC maintains rigidity around the bottom bracket for efficient power transfer, whilst reducing bump transmission to the rider. Custom lay-up of carbon in the tiny chain stays and seat post add up to a smooth ride, never normally associated with pro level race machines.
