What do u think of people who prefer riding hardtails? Me personally think they cant ride fast enough to appreciate a full suss or perhaps are'nt riding super tech trails, but this is just my opinion, i prefer a full suss, more comfortable and i feel i can do more damage to the trail, proper gnar!

I've got a feeling this is going to be a popular thread. Ride what you prefere oh and IMO hardtail riders are faster.

I love riding hardtails, cos I'm hard.
Dunno what your on about "doing more damage to the trail" on a full sus. Its still a **** mincing push bike that you have to rely on yor legs to power.
When I wanna do damage to the trails and just rip it up with lots of roost, I go out on my crosser. Thats what its made for.
I think your an idiot who cant afford a crosser so just minces round on his full susser, whilst wearing a full face helmet and making motorbike noises.

Considering the very high standard of trolling that we usually get on here, this is a total embarassment.

I'm not interested in riding fast enough to need a full suss. I also like peddling uphill, and need all the help I can get, so not loosing power to bobbing suspension is good.
I prefer hardtail with short travel fork. Feels more like a bike, efficient, light, east to maintain. I can feel the surface of the trail.
Have no interest in damaging the trail or myself. Gnar is for youngsters
Oh, and 1/10 for the trolling. Very transparent.

All Trolling aside (No i'm not Jon Troll Rambo!).
After a winter on my SummerSeason it left me wondering if i needed a FS.
I think the answer is i don't, but after a few rides on the Hemlock i'll be riding it all Summer! (or at least until i buy a Mega..)

I thought the point of FS was to flatter the rider into thinking they could ride off road?

I always called rear sus a skill compensator myself...
Hardtails, less forgiving = more thrills at a lower speed.
Hardtails, line picking = more thought put into riding = more taken outif I wanted to ride a smooth trail, I'd go along a fire road or get my road bike out.
I can't see the need for a full sus in the UK actually.

Full sus is excellent. It costs more, and you need a bouncy fork too, which costs more, and then they need maintenance for all your pivots and shocks, which costs more... And they get better every year so you need to replace them because last years will be slower.
... So I make more money.
I really don't know how I make any money out of you tight fisted one speed rigid guys. I've got kids and dogs to feed... Sort it out and get a susser. I wanna go to Hawaii.

Is what i have to say.
Will they be as fast as your average person on a susser, definitely. Are the world cup downhill speed, no.
Would it feel faster than world cup downhill speed, yes.

Dunno, I’m certainly not super fast on My HT but I’m not too shabby when I want to get moving.
Did a quick loop of Whites a couple of weeks ago got to the head of the last section (Darkside) spot a couple of “Free-Gnarrists” having a chat; Full shinnies, Spanky helmets, one in a pressure suit (FFS) both astride £2-3K ~6” bouncers so I figure as I’m only on a gentle pootle on my 85mm Forked XC HT I’ll let them go first surely I wouldn’t be able to keep up with them?
Gave them 30 seconds or so, then caught the tail man inside of about 15 seconds, OK it’s the slightly pedally, slightly upwards incline bit at the start, He’ll soon rip away from me… Nah I was stuck behind this chuffing Mary the whole way down, the only feature on his bike he seemed familiar with was the brakes, Zero talent, should have bought a HT and learned to ride that first….
I have nothing against Bouncers, the advantages are pretty clear, but I really don’t think anyone absolutely Needs one for plain old trail riding, I’ve owned DH bikes and I think they make sense for their intended Purpose, I’ve owned a couple of 6” “all rounders” and while I enjoyed them I’m actually happier now on my far simpler HT…
HT’s Rule! – FACT!!!
Far below Par Trollage, but it is Friday….
