It’s crucial to choose the type of mountain bike that fits your riding style, so we created this guide to help you choose between cross-country, trail, and enduro bikes. Between travel numbers, wheel sizes, and different component specs, there’s a lot to talk about. Let’s get into it!
Our in-house experts Chris & Kendall talk us through the three different types, and address some other micro-categories like hardtails, downcountry, all-mountain, and freeride. Follow along to see what type of mountain bike is best for you!
