High-Quality Hardtail Bikes From AW Cycles
What are ‘hardtail bikes’?
There are generally two types of mountain bike – Full Suspension and Hardtail. The main difference between the two is that Hardtail
only has suspension concentrated on the front of the bike – Full Suspension has it on both front and back. While only having front suspension may seem somewhat counter-intuitive to anyone new to off-road biking, having less suspension makes the bike weigh less, making it easier and more energy efficient to ride.
Why go electric?
Electric bikes have grown in popularity within the last decade; essentially, the fitting of the motor allows for less pedalling meaning that riders won’t have to work as much as they would have to otherwise do on traditional rides. This is especially helpful on off-road terrain as conditions often vary wildly and can change extremely quickly – the energy the rider will save will be conserved to meet these challenges.
However, it should be considered that electric bikes have a somewhat more expensive purchase price when compared with traditional mountain bikes; so why do some riders prefer to go electric? Let’s take a look…
- You can customise your assistance. Riding an electric mountain bike doesn’t have to mean an easy experience throughout your ride; you can change the level of assistance it provides by leafing through the different modes. This is particularly helpful for new riders who want to build up their skills, or those returning from injury or any long lay-off.
- They allow for a quicker recovery time. Speaking of which; many experienced mountain bikers make use of electric bikes to help them get back in the saddle after a lay-off. Cycling in general is a great way to get the body back in fit and fighting shape, but it can be difficult to ride at the right levels right away – sometimes, it may mean you doing too much, too soon. With the customisable assistance they provide, electric mountain bikes can provide the right challenges at the right times, building up fitness.
- They feel just as good as a ‘normal’ mountain bikes. Fitting an electric motor onto a bike doesn’t necessarily mean the geometry changes; the latest hardtail electric bikes are similar in shape to traditional types and feel great to ride. They offer the benefits of electrics, while still staying true to the design and feel of normal mountain bikes – another reason why many riders use them to train after long lay-offs.
- You can ride longer and faster. As the electric motor does the lions share of the driving, riders can conserve their energy; allowing them to ride faster and/or longer. This allows you to get more out of the ride, pushing you on to achieve more or even experience tracks and scenery that you’d otherwise struggle to get to.
