Hardtail / XC Mountain Bikes

Cross-country or XC mountain biking is more popular than other mountain bike disciplines and has been an Olympic sport since the 1996 games. XC riding requires technical handling skills as well a good dose of endurance to handle long stretches of trail and big climbs.

XC bikes are constructed from a variety of materials including aluminum, steel, titanium and carbon. Some carbon framed XC bikes are among the lightest mountain bikes available. Depending on a rider's preference, a cross-country bike can be built as a hardtail or with a full-suspension system. Suspension is minimal compared to downhill and freeride bikes. It usually hovers around 4" for front and rear travel. Geometry of a true XC race bike puts the rider in a much more aggressive, horizontal position than other types of mountain bikes, but a more relaxed position than a road racing bike. There are many quality XC bikes available for reasonable prices as well as many high end full-suspension carbon XC bikes that top out in the $5,000 - $7,000 range.
