New Mountain Bikes
For family fun, there are a new range of bikes that can be enjoyed for the whole family. New mountain bikes from Transition Bikes include the Bandit 29, an aggressive new full-suspension bike designed for riding in all mountain terrains. The rear triangle of the bike features an interchangeable dropout that allows for a quick release of 135mm.
The 140mm fork, which is probably the new version of the Fox 34, hosts a swingarm and a tapered headtube. Commencal is offering another new all-mountain bike that is more suited for downhill riding but can also climb well.
This is not the best bike for cross-country riding, but for those who prefer downhill Commencal is the recognized expert. The Meta AM bike takes its inspiration from the Supreme DH, with a slack 67-degree head tube and low bottom bracket. The increased rigidity of the bike's frame allow for improved pedaling efficiency and the ability to react to sharp changes in grade.
Many bike rental companies will also offer the latest bikes including these ones. This can be helpful if you cannot purchase these bikes but to prefer to hire the bike whenever you are traveling or on holidays with your family.
