Motorcycles & Dirt Bikes

Choosing a mountain bike comes down to three decisions: hardtail or full suspension, how much travel, and which wheel size. In our range you will find mountain bikes from beginner to racing level – plus electric mountain bikes that double the number of rides in the same time.

Hardtail or full suspension?

A hardtail has a suspension fork at the front and a rigid rear end. It is lighter, cheaper and needs less maintenance – for the same money you get clearly better components. Full suspension gives better grip on roots and is less tiring on a long ride, but it is heavier and more expensive.

Practical rule: forest roads and easy trails → hardtail. Technical trail every week → full suspension.

How much travel?

On Finnish trails 120–140 mm of trail travel is enough for most riders. 100–120 mm suits fast cross-country riding and 150–170 mm demanding enduro. The most common mistake is buying too much travel – an enduro bike feels sluggish on flat ground.

Where should the money go?

Suspension fork first, then brakes and a dropper post. Frame material comes last: a well-designed aluminium frame with good components is a better bike than a carbon frame with weak components at the same price.

We are happy to help with size and model, and you can test ride at our Tampere store. Our own workshop also services suspension. Read more: mountain bike buying guide and choosing an electric mountain bike.
