Either you can't afford it, or never ridden FS bike. Also obviously if you ride easy trails then there is no need for FS. But having FS will never hold you back from riding 💯 on any trails.

This is my hardtail/full sys take. I loved my Raliegh Tokul hardtail. I had it for years and beat the crap out of that bike. I'm 240 lbs and that bike took me through everything, I went through tubes and rims haha, that's about it. It reminded me of my old skool BMX days, I felt confident on it, I knew what the back end was going to do everytime. I normally rode street and light allyway trails for YEARS. I didn't really have a riding buddy so I just kept it local, and for me, that was mostly to and from street stuff with the occasional trail. But I DID harp on it. Last year I got a camper, and so we started going to other places that were more "trail oriented"....and for a longer amount of time. Two days of riding trail vs maybe an hour of city riding on my hardtail previously. I have an old lower back injury from college football, plus like most hardtail guys, I was super curious of the full sus setups, but the thing holding me back was price. I finally got ahead enough to purchase a full suspension Giant Trance at my LBS. It's so much easier on my back, I instantly could ride for HOURS longer in the trails when we went camping and I had a riding buddy. It does take some getting used too, but if you have any kind of back injury or are older than 25, you would benefit in this area. To sum it up, and this is just my opinion. If you are younger and an aggressive rider that likes air (possibly coming from a BMX background like me), keep your hardtail and know you won't get much benefit out of a full sys, actually you will probably regress. If you don't have that many riding buddies....you probably won't be riding long enough sessions to truly justify the cost either. We all know the larger the group, the longer you are out there! But on the other hand if you are older than 25 (I'm 33) and/or possibly have a back injury of sorts, a full suspension bike will serve you tremendously, regardless of how much you ride. Also, if you do have a lot of riding buddies and go out several times a week, I do think a full sys may be the option to keep you going longer. Also, if you're just the weekend warrior, and maybe dust the bike off in the spring to go out and ride once or twice a month, keep the hardtail regardless of age, you simply won't use it enough to really see any benefit listed above. I think full suspension bikes were created to keep us older dudes as relevant as we were when we were younger smashing the hardtails. They keep us on the trail as long as a 23 year old me on a hardtail. They are also created for that niche, special rider, crowd that, regardless of age is riding for a living or something and can justify buying, maintaining, hauling around, and switching out both types. This also doesn't apply to the uber rich guys and gals who, frankly, it doesn't hurt their pocketbook as much to have a bunch of bikes regardless of how much it costs. But neither of the above are my position, and I understand yall might be in a different position.

Realllly appreciate this take! I'm currently about to buy an ebike and I'm torn between hardtail and full suspension. I do have a back issue and a knee issue from time to time, so your opinion was really helpful. I see the main difference in price seems to be the additional full suspension. Initially, I was looking for a hybrid back to where I can ride on streets and trails. So, I had to decide, what kind of rider do I wanna be? So, I will use this to get in shape, explore, and most importantly have fun! I plan on using the bike several times a week, and may even explore riding it to work daily, thru minor trails, depending on weather. With mountain bikes, especially the extra weight with an ebike, I wasn't sure if I wanted to deal with the weight. However, I think that extra suspension is the absolute game changer. Thanks for your advice!

@@massiveantnz i agree totally. the video left me meh other than seeing pros and cons to each.

I have both. Depending on my mood. I pick up either the hard tail or the full suspension. Hard tail will out climb the full suspension and possibly on some jumps. The full suspension is amazing on technical long down hill trails. The hard tail is used less energy to pedal. Like I said, to each is own and each bike has its pros and cons. Quick edit, the hard tail will climb better on a rooted area. As you will less likely get pedal strikes.

I own an hardtail and thought it was limiting my ride. Was thinking of switching to trail or Enduro but since I've seen all the stuff Blake can do with an hardtail I now know that's is definitely not my hardtail that limiting my ride hehe!! Thanks Blake for that!!

Hi lads . I ride a ht while my son has a full susser we always challenge each other . But all in good fun and that’s what getting out on mtb is all about having fun trying to improve. Best sport ever !

Just brought a Ragley big al after having a FS for years, and got to say I love it, better than I thought it would be and it’s more than enough for the riding I do.

I'm riding an Aggressive Hardtail and i LOVE IT!😍 But i'm aiming to get a Ragley Mmmbop frame this year to be able to run plus size tires for a bit of extra squish and traction and maybe the frame will have a bit more flex than the one i have at the moment. As always loads of fun watching you guys. Can't wait to get my Bike and gear sorted out and go riding again 🤩

HT are absolutely perfect. I am riding a Nukeproof Scout 290 V3 and it puts a smile on my face every time I am on the trail.

Hardtail plus...Cannondale Beast of the East 1. Sold my full suspension and went back to hardtail. Love the weight reduction and while the back is more lively, I have more fun! (Plus, fewer parts to maintain)

I'm on a 2018 Santa Cruz Chameleon and I love it!! Thinking of stepping up to full sus this year but I would love to buy a Yeti ARC and blow everyone's minds with another hardtail which would be on another level. We'll see.

For the rest of us, rear suspension gives you confidence in technical downhill. Blake has enough of it already. He did say that riding the Megavalanche on a hard tail was a bad idea, though!

I’ve been riding a hard tail (Trek Roscoe 7) for several years. Considering a full suspension bike but can’t justify the price for a good model right now. Love your videos...keep it going!

Before that I used to ride a cheap Trek XXL hardtail with which I had loads of fun until I broke an axil... I will be looking into a new bike in 2022 though, that's a little bit bigger (XXL) with a slightly more modern geometry. On this bike I sometimes feel like going over the bars on certain parts. Hardtail or fully? I like having grip, and I am not big on going as fast as I can. I like enjoying my surroundings. So I will go fully again on my next bike. Currently looking into the Trek Fuel EX 7/8 or the Santa Cruz Hightower or the Tallboy. But then again, first need to get that shoulder fixed and get the needed euro's saved. These bikes are not cheap!

Just got into MTBing about a month ago. Started out with a used bike and then bought a Norco Storm. It's a HT and I'm still getting used to the bike and learning. I had already planned to upgrade to a full sus next year but after watching a bunch of videos where Blake rips it on a HT, I'm planning on upgrading my Storm to an even better HT.

I had a hardtail but changed to full-sus for comfort. I'm neither good enough at, or generally do, the sort of riding that would make one better than the other for me in terms of performance. My local riding area seems to be mainly corrugated surfaces (atm some are deep mud but come summer they will set into plain rough) and my old bones and teeth just can't take hours of being rattled.

The last 3 years i have been riding a steel Ns Eccentric . Tested a few full sus trail bikes for racing but love the Ns so much that i had a custom Ti Hardtail frame built exactly the same as the Ns with an alteration to the chainstays so that i can run a 34t ring up front .

Hardtail with 140mm on front. Does everything you could want at the right price.

I have both and love them both. I have hit some pretty gnarly trails on my hard tail but it is easier and more comfortable doing it on my trail bike. Having that extra travels gives me more confidence to go for things I wouldn't go for on my hardtail and can help get me out of any sticky situations.

I’m picking up a sq 3 myself this season

I'm an old man who rides an amazing Yeti trail bike (SB5+), and yet these videos and HardTail Party videos have me jonesing for the simplicity of a hard tail again. I also like the idea of a 29er hardtail where I can do adventure rides with lots of on- and off-road segments. I have a gravel bike but it's a little too sketchy on the more technical off road terrain where I live. Great for fire roads and flow trails, but where I live the off road stuff tends to be very rocky and very steep. If I had to own just one bike I suspect it would be a trail hard-tail on the lighter side of the weight spectrum.

Had a Vitus Sommet, tortured with pivot bearings and then cracked the frame, have a Nukeproof Scout now with 160mm up front and love it!!

Hardtail laughs in uphill.

Note to the Editors: Thank you for the sick music!!! very good choices!

My current rig is a Nukeproof Scout with a 170 up front, absolute blast

Still riding my Dean Ti Colonel 26" with V brakes and ceramic rims. Never have trouble stopping, love the 26" wheels. Upgraded a few parts, but drivetrain still a triple up front with an 11-42 out back. I've been riding since before front shocks were even a thing. Full rigid is a great ride, although the Dean has a sus fork. AWESOME BIKE. Got it as a present after surviving a bout of 'terminal' cancer. It's called "The Cancer Bike". Hardtails are awesome.

Mountain Bike tik tok compilation already on my channel 😉 Love you all ❤️

Right now I'm riding a BMX, but next week I will be getting a hardtail!

While I owe a FS trailbike now, Hardtail is the bike that took me everywhere - rough or mellow, mountains or flats - always puts a grin on my face regardless what i'm riding. It's the best teacher and a loyal companion. Everyone should have one.

Love my trail bike Spark 940 👌🏻 ride a lot of trails with roots where my hard tail just bounce around.

I thought my full rigid from the 90’s was a trail bike

Yeah I got a 24 year old GT aggressor. Wouldn't compete with these blokes but still a nice and tight frame

Hardtail user here. Hardtail FTW guuuuys!

I rode a HT for 10 yrs before getting my first full squish. I still have my HT, converted to a SS now. Still have fun on it, but when it gets steep, techy, and big, I want my trail bike (Guerrilla Gravity Trail Pistol, running 150 Lyrik, 130 rear).

Running an overforked hardtail XC bike and it's a beast jajaja Si much fun on it always !!!
