Hardtail
Check out all our hardtail mountain bikes for sale at South Shore Cyclery in Milwaukee
Hardtail mountain bikes have a front suspension fork and a rigid rear end, leading to lighter overall weight and more responsive handling. These characteristics make hardtails ideal for XC racing and smoother terrain like fast singletrack or dirt trails. The lack of a rear shock can mean a more affordable price tag on many models compared to their full-suspension counterparts, too.

Breaking the Mold with a 29er Bike
As the first "plus" bike to hit the market, Krampus changed the way many people approach trail riding. It's shown people the light of how high volume, large diameter tires can vastly improve the ride experience. It's also done a bang-up job dispelling the myth that big tires make you slow.
Krampus is kind of like the opposite of a mullet: long in the front and short in the rear. With a long toptube and compact chainstays, it takes trail-shredding abilities to the next level. A mullet may be business in the front, party in the back but Krampus makes partying its business.
"Lean back, hang on, and ride that wild horse." -Thor
- Modern trail standards: dropper post compatibility, 44mm headtube, Gnot-Boost rear spacing, thru-axles, suspension corrected fork
- Compatibility with most mountain bike standards makes it the perfect parts bin bike (no rim brakes allowed though)
- Clearance for 29" x 3" tires
$2,599.00

Rolling on 29” x 2.6” tires, this bike can get you over just about anything you point it at.
