Is the humble hardtail about to go the way of the dodo?
Hardtails have been the bread and butter of the mountain bike world for decades.
But with the rise of full suspension, the arrival of eMTBs and ever more technical trails for us to ride, are they about to turn their pedals for the last time?
In this video, we discuss the pros and cons of hardtails, the history behind them, and the riders who might just keep the hardtail breed going.
What do you think? Has the hardtail had its day? Do you own a hardtail? And would you have one as your only bike?
Let us know in the comments and check out the videos below if you want to see more hardtail action.
