Step 1: Identify Your Riding Style
Mountain bikes come in different categories, each built for specific terrain and riding preferences.
Cross-Country (XC)
Built for speed, efficiency, and long rides. Ideal for racers and endurance riders who want to climb fast and cover miles quickly.
Trail
The all-around choice for riders who want a balanced bike that climbs well and handles descents with confidence.
Electric Mountain Bikes
Add a power boost to go farther, explore new trails, and tackle steeper climbs with ease.
Recreational Hardtails
Great for beginner riders or those looking for an affordable and durable bike for casual city & trail riding.
Step 2: Going electric?
If you want to ride longer, climb higher, and tackle tough terrain with ease, an electric mountain bike is worth considering. The Specialized Turbo Levo series offers smooth, natural assistance without taking away the fun of mountain biking. You still pedal just like a normal bike, just with a little added boost.
Ride More Trails
If you want to ride more trails, tackle bigger climbs, and push your limits, an electric mountain bike (E-MTB) could be the perfect choice.
E-MTBs let you cover more ground in the same amount of time, meaning you can ride longer and experience more of your favorite trails in a single session.
An electric mountain bike makes technical climbs smoother, descents more exciting, and big adventures more accessible.
With pedal assist, you can keep up with faster riders or introduce new riders to the sport without worrying about fitness gaps. E-MTBs level the playing field, making group rides more enjoyable for everyone.
Step 3: Consider Suspension
Mountain bikes come in two main suspension types, specifically designed for different styles of riding.
Full Suspension
Features both front and rear shocks for better control and comfort on rough terrain. Best for technical trails and aggressive riding.
Hardtails
Lighter, simpler, and more efficient for climbing and smooth trails. Best for XC riders and those on a budget.
