I have both, and have had both for going on like 25 years. My two cents and some is that hardtails are fast when the trail is flowy and smooth-ish, and they climb well of course under same condition. Where they simply cannot compete with FS is chunky terrain at speed. No comparison, no exceptions, they just cannot. Also, my back likes full squish better lol.

I love hardtails, but can we just apreciate the mastery of this video? Quality content.

I have a hardtail plus. Best setup imo. Much more engaging than full sus and more capable than most people think.

I remember when you used to have that black hardtail, good shreds on that thing

15 yrs on a ht, then 4 on full sus, I have found where and how you ride is the most important. Where I ride we have lots of fairly short tech climbs, and switchbacks which lends itself much more to a ht. When I rode out west with long dh's and larger drops fs was superior. Being "overbiked" is real. I am back on a ht and lovin' it! Both have their place, it really depends on your needs!! Cheers!!

I love hardtails but full sus also has something most people dont even recognize, its way more accessible to people with injuries, for instance my dad has an injury in his lower back and without a lot of plush suspension it can be too rough to ride some days

I sold both my full suspension bikes as I just love riding my hardtail. I ride a Whyte 909 it’s lighter, faster and just a lot more fun out on the trails. Take care and happy riding guys. 👍🏻😎

just got my first aggressive hardtail to add to my quiver of full squish bikes and wow, i agree entirely. nukeproof scout 290 and it is an absolute blast. so far ive been able to ride everything that the big bike can ride, its just a bit slower on tech and makes you think harder about line choice which i enjoy. by far the best $/fun ratio i ever have had

I've seen Alfie shredding down a local trail on that thing, the guy flies! Awesome video and makes so much sense in UK winter months

F'kin brilliantly funny .. particularly liked the total randomness of "on Wednesdays" 4:08 😂😂

I like hardtails just because how they're so simple yet effective, however after I moved past the beginner hardtail (different to a 'real' hardtail) I couldn't have progressed nearly as fast or far without my full squish

I’m jealous of you young guys. I have a 20 lb tricked out carbon HT that I love but can’t ride because it wrecks my joints. Totally takes the fun out knowing I’ll be in pain for a few days. It’s full suspension or die for me.
