As a guy who spent the day at KOLO, and yesterday at Pisgah on a hard tail, I’m thinking heavily about the FS route. That, or I’m just old and fat.

I'm 52, 30+years as a mountain biker. I'm loving my Honzo hardtails. The more aggressive geo will allow more capability, for me to tackle the really tricky stuff with mo bedder chances of getting through the other side unscathed. And ultimately not beating me so much cause I can ride the fork more. Really I'm needing a full suspension bike, however my wife wants new kitchen cabinets and all new windows next year. Sooooo ill be on the back burner. |

A lot of it depends on the type of hardtail. I have a YT Jeffsy full suspension and a Commencal Meta 29 hardtail. Besides the obvious lack of rear suspension, the geometey and handling are very similar. You definitely work harder on a hardtail and rely on picking lines and skills. I am faster on my FS, but it also makes me lazy. FWIW, both my bikes weigh about the same. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: No, you just go faster. I'm faster than most folks riding full squish round here on all while on a hardtail. And yes dual suspension makes you lazy. Been there done that. I'm not saying that I don't want full suspension. Its just another bike in the quiver of a well rounded rider! |

I agree full suspension makes you lazy, but it also is faster than a hardtail if you ride it right. If you ride a full suspension like you would a hardtail (i.e. picking fast lines, riding aggressive, pumping every feature you can) you will be faster. If you sit your ass down and don't pick the right lines because the suspension allows you to, then you will ride lazy and be slow. |

Skillshot is correct F.S. can make you faster.
I know ill be faster. Its like knowing that you are faster with a red-dot vs irons, however lots of people enjoy shooting irons quickly. Ita a back to basics kunda thing. I enjoy riding stuff on a hardtail that many people hesitate on with full squish. |
