Looking to put a little
excitement into your life? Want to venture off road
to escape traffic and congestion? Want the taste of
sweet singletrack or jaw-dropping overlooks? If so,
then you’re looking for a mountain-bike.
LOTS OF CHOICES
AND DECISIONS TO MAKE
Before you rush in
and kick some knobbies, think about how and where you'll
ride. If you've got dirthead friends that you plan
to ride with they’ll know the best trails and
can give you the low down on the terrain and it’s
challenges. If you're new to the world of off-road
thrills and hills, our staff can share with you the
best off-road trails plus give you advice on bike types
and equipment. MTN. BIKE
TRAILS We also have demo bikes that give you the
opportunity to test drive several models that are available
for purchase.
Most new mountain-bike
buyers purchase a model equipped with suspension. Ironically,
even if you buy a rigid bike (one without front or
rear shocks), you actually get a certain level of suspension
thanks to the cushioning effect of the fat tires, which
float over bumps (if you don't pump them up too hard).
It's likely, however,
that you'll prefer the additional bump-busting ability
of a bike with a suspension fork or one with front
and rear shocks. These machines offer many advantages
for trail riding. Bikes with suspension allow the wheels
to remain in contact with the ground on even the most
technical terrain, resulting in greater speed, traction
and control.
Suspension can greatly
reduce the amount of beating your body takes. If you're
suffering from a stiff neck or sore lower back on rides,
you'll be amazed at the difference suspension offers.
Jolts from big hits are absorbed by the shocks allowing
for a more relaxed and comfortable ride.
