Are hard tail mountain bikes as good as full suspension mountain bikes?

   Some hard tails are really good for freeriding. It all depends on what want. If you want a lighter bike with some suspension, then you should go for a hardtail. If you want a lot of suspension and are willing to sacrifice some weight, then full suspension is the way to go. Personally, I would go with a hardtail so you could dirt jump it as well. (I’m into DJ). If you don’t want to DJ then I’d go with the full suspension. Some good hardtails are a giant STP and all of the specialized P’s. (p1-3). Hope I could help.

   If your riding is more jump orientated go hardtail(unless the jumps are rough) if you ride alot of rocky, rooty sections then full sus is much better. Oh and if you are somewhere in the middle go for a low rear travel bike.
