What does a free-ride bike mean? |
I am getting a bike off of rscycle.com and it says it is built for free-ride What does that mean. I like to go off dirt jumps and mountain biking, but sometimes when I bike to school I just want to have a light and fast bike what should I get freeride...taking drops, dirt jumps, doing things on your bike that require plenty of suspension. if you want a good all around bike for jumps and riding the trails, go for a xc bike either hardtail or full suspension with around 4-5" of travel in the front and 4-5" of travel in the back (if you go with full suspension). this will give you the best of both worlds. you don't want to be lugging a heavy freeride bike to school or out on the trails...the weight and pedal efficancy are two very big reasons you should stay away from a freeride bike if you want to ride trails too. good luck! Source(s): i have a xc bike and a freeride/downhill bike... Freeride bicycle will be good for you. Dual suspension, with at least 5-6 inches of travel in back. What kind of jumps will you be doing? www.mtbr.com So you're looking for a light and fast bike you can dirt jump with. Well, a free-ride bike is not the answer. Free-ride bikes usually weigh-in around 35-40 lbs. They're usually built burly because they're meant to basically do stunts like dropping off ledges or hitting big jumps, or riding down very technical terrain. The kind of bike you're looking for is a good trail-bike. They usually weigh-in between 25-30 lbs. You can still do some light freeriding with a trail bike, but because it weighs less than a free-ride, you can still commute to school faster than a free-ride. |
