Enduro bikes
What is enduro mountain biking?
Enduro mountain biking has its roots in enduro racing. In enduro racing, riders are timed on specific sections (usually downhill), but must travel between timed sections. So, enduro mountain biking is similar in some ways to downhill riding. The bikes are built for insane levels of competence when riding downhill. However, enduro mountain bikes differ from downhill or freeride bikes in that they’re a bit more versatile. They can climb very well for how burly they are, whereas a downhill bike is pretty much useless unless it’s going, you know, down hill.
While enduro mountain biking has its roots in racing, enduro bikes are a popular option for riders looking to charge down hard trails, but still want to be able to ride efficiently up climbs and between steep trails and sections.

Why should I pick an enduro mountain bike over a trail bike?
If charging steep, burly trails as fast as possible really whets your whistle, get an enduro bike. You’ll still be able to rip it up for the day with your pals on trail bikes, but you’ll absolutely demolish descents and burlier sections of trail. Sure, you might suffer a bit more on the climbs—so if climbing prowess and keeping cross country levels of pace on the flats is important to you, then go for the trail bike. But if sending it as fast as possible downhill (and the occasional bike park day) is appealing to you, go for enduro.
Is riding an electric enduro mountain bike fun?
For sure! An electric enduro mountain bike makes sense for a lot of reasons. For one, it allows riders to ride a super tough and capable mountain bike without ever feeling the weight of the bike on climbs. It also let’s riders save tons of energy when climbing or transitioning between trails. The result is the ability to ride more trails in a day than ever before. You’ll cover way more ground, and won’t get nearly as tired doing it. It also lets riders keep up with friends who might be a fit fitter on the ups—so you’ll be able to hit up more group rides than before. The electric approach might not be for everyone, but if any of the above sounds appealing to you, an electric enduro mountain bike is a fantastic option.

Gravel bikes
What is a gravel bike?
So many things. A gravel bike is a beautiful and weird hybrid of road bike, adventure bike, and cyclocross bike with just a hint of mountain bike thrown in. In terms of geometry and ride feel, a gravel bike is very similar to a road bike.
Fat bikes
What is the ideal fat bike?
The best fat tire bikes are tough, durable, and feature massive amounts of tire clearance. If you look at a fat bike, it’s pretty simple. They’re usually rigid (re: they have no suspension), they have disc brakes, and they have massive tires. Those massive tires are key (more on that below).
Cross country bikes
What is cross country riding?
Cross country riding (also often referred to as XC riding and XC bikes) focuses on riding fast everywhere, and not just downhill. Unlike enduro or downhill, cross country riding is all about riding fast up climbs, on flats, and downhill. Mountain biking has its roots in cross country riding and racing, and the scene is still going super strong today.
Trail bikes
What is trail mountain biking?
Think of a trail mountain bike as a jack of all trades. Because a good full suspension trail bike can do a bit of everything. It can climb, it can descend, it can flick through tight, flowy singletrack. Trail bikes are popular because they really are a “do it all” solution.
Enduro bikes
What is enduro mountain biking?
While enduro mountain biking has its roots in racing, enduro bikes are a popular option for riders looking to charge down hard trails, but still want to be able to ride efficiently up climbs and between steep trails and sections.
Freeride bikes
What is a freeride bike?
A freeride bike is a bike that combines elements of downhill, trail, and enduro bikes. A 180mm travel bike is usually the go-to for freeride. So, bigger and burlier than an enduro bike, but slightly less travel and lighter than a dedicated downhill bike.
Pump track bikes
What is a pump track bike?
Pump track bikes are purpose-built for riding the rhythm of pump tracks. What are pump tracks, all about? Imagine a tight circuit of rollers, berms, and jumps. It's a playground for riders that are looking to sharpen skills and dial in tricks.
