As a number of us in the office are looking at new bikes this spring
(some lucky shop is going to love us), the debate between the hardtail
and softtail is starting.
Being a long time hardtail rider, I am stuck with do I go to a
softtail, or stay with what I know.
My question is;
Is the weight, size, cost, and lose of power to ground, worth the
trade off for the traction, and comfort with a softtail?
Or should I stick with a simpler, lighter, potentially cheaper (should
I not go overboard with add-ons/upgrades) hardtail?
The riding would be primarily cross country, on rock, gravel, clay and
lots of mud.
I am currently riding a hardtail, setup primarily for mud and rock.
