Suspension Bikes.
Suspension bicycles aim to maximize comfort and traction over rough terrain. The basis of the mountain bike frame is blended with suspension – either suspension front forks only or in combination with a rear suspension mechanism built into the frame. A special shock absorbing seat pillar may also be present for improved rider comfort. Despite the variety of suspension bikes available the basic components are similar in all models, such as wide rims and tyres for increased traction and comfort.
