The marketplace is filled with hundreds of mountain bike brands but only a few perform up to par. The consumer has several choices of mountain bikes to choose from in a marketplace filled with hundreds of brands.

There are several frame materials from which to choose plus you have to weigh your options in terms off what you'll be doing with your new bike. Will you be riding on rough terrains and perform stunts? You should know these before hand.

You'll need the proper gear for biking on your mountain bike. This sport has some danger involved and you'll need the right gear. Gears include a helmet and clothes that are able to protect you just in case you fall of your bike.

Many bikers think that they can get away way with not gearing up or choosing cheap gears that don't protect them. But this can lead to bodily harm and you do not want to be harmed if and when you do fall off your bike.

As a rider you will have four major categories from which to choose your bikes mainly freeride, all mountain, cross country, and downhill. In every category the bikes are related in design and you'll have other options in these categories as well.

An all mountain bike is the category that will appeal to most buyers in that it does everything the average biker wants to do. Cross country bikes are built for speed, freeride are built for rough terrains and downhill are built for going downhill and are usually very heavy.

Based on these categories it is easy for the rider to choose which category he or she fits in and the type of bike based on the riding he or she will be doing. Given this information you'll be able to pick the bike that's right for you.
