Trail Bikes: The Do-Everything Choice

If you could only own one mountain bike, a trail bike would be the sensible choice. These machines climb well enough for big days out yet descend with confidence on challenging terrain. They're the bike industry's largest category for good reason.

Trail bike characteristics:

  • 120-140mm travel front and rear
  • Balanced geometry (65-67?? head angle)
  • Moderate weight (12-14kg typical)
  • 29er or mullet wheel options
  • Capable but efficient suspension

Trail vs Enduro vs XC

Trail bikes sit between XC and enduro in the spectrum. They're more capable than XC bikes but lighter and more efficient than enduro machines. If your rides mix climbing and descending without racing against the clock, a trail bike is your match.

Why Buy Used?

Trail bikes from quality brands are built to last season after season. Buying used gives access to proven platforms with sorted suspension setups, often with upgrades the original owner fitted. More trail bike for less money.
