Hard-tail or full-suspension?

• Full-suspension bikes have a suspension fork up front and a rear shock; they provide more control ad comfort over rough terrain.

What wheel size is best for me?
The number refers to diameter of the wheel. Generally, 27.5 in. wheels have faster acceleration while 29ers are more efficient on longer rides and roll over objects more easily.

Which frame material?
Pick carbon if you want the lightest frame and don't mind paying a premium. Aluminum frames are more affordable and some can be relatively lightweight.
