In all honesty, hardtails are just so much better unless you plan to go down near-vertical hills and need something to allow you to do so. Due to the cost of a rear shock, the componentry is always a bit less and the extra energy exerted is pointless shifting something so heavy. Hardtails are generally a nice light strong aluminium/carbon frame, have good specs and with some good forks, you can lock them out now to rigid for riding to/from a trail and then release the valves for when you get to the trails.

Not just downhills, but also crazy uphills. The rear susp. keeps teh back tire on the ground better.

I love it in my desert trail riding, them rocks are hard as funk. Anything to soften them up is much appreciated.

You should come out here and ride some trails

i hear that a lot, and see a lot of great riders out here use em. I love my clips, they are great for uphill stuff as you never slip off the pedal. but can be scary on scary downhill stuff, as you never slip out!
