Cross country bikes (sometimes called XC bikes) are nimble, more efficient and lighter. These bikes can tackle climbs with less effort and support longer faster rides with less fatigue. They have shorter travel suspension (generally up to 110mm) making these bikes less capable on fast aggressive downhills. This also leads to a firmer less forgiving ride on more rugged terrain.

Best for:

• Gravel / Dirt Roads
• Smooth - Moderate Dirt Trails

Often described as longer travel Cross-Country bikes or more efficient Trail bikes. They generally offer suspension travel of 120 - 130mm. These bikes are faster than trail bikes and more capable on descents than cross-country bikes.

Best for:

• Gravel / Dirt Roads
• Smooth - Rugged Dirt Trails

The all-rounder. Trail bikes are the most versatile and offer the best combination of climbing and descending ability. Efficient on climbs while still providing confidence and control on rough ground and technical descents. Trail bikes offer travel suspensin of 130mm - 150mm and wider tires, allowing them to handle the widest range of terrain with ease.

Best for:

• Gravel / Dirt Roads
• Smooth - Rugged Dirt Trails

These are longer travel bikes with a focus on downhill performance that can still be pedaled back to the top. Ideal for riders looking to tackle parks, drops, jumps and the most challenging terrain. Suspension travel range is 160 - 180mm

Best for:

• Rugged Dirt Trails
• Drops and Jumps

Fat bikes can venture to places other bikes can't. Originally designed to be ridden on snow and sand, these bikes offer incredible grip on any terrain. Their extra wide tires allow them to float on top of soft terrain, where other bikes would quickly sink and get stuck. They tend to be heavier (due to their oversized components) and are limited on technical descents.

Best for:

• Gravel / Dirt Roads
• Smooth - Moderate Dirt Trails
• Soft Terrain (Snow, Sand)

E-mountain bikes blend the toughness of traditional mountain bikes with the added boost of electric assist.
