When mountain biking, sometimes you’re in a hurry and sometimes you’re not. The best way to keep up with traffic is to choose a bike that’s capable of handling both types of situations.
130mm travel trail bikes are excellent for both descents and climbs, thanks to their plush suspension and traction-enhancing rubber components. They’re also a great option for beginners because they have less travel than more aggressive trail bikes.
Much like all mountain bikes, it’s worth noting that the best 130mm travel mtb come in a huge variety of styles and designs with tons of different features.
You’ll find everything from lightweight trail bikes with high-end components to budget bikes with little aesthetic appeal. You should also be aware that the best geometry and suspension travel on a 130mm travel mtb are directly related to the weight of the bike and the rider.
If you weigh more, you’ll want a stiffer pivot, steeper seat angle and more travel. If you weigh less, you’ll need a more supple pivot, shallower seat angle and less travel.
