Hi all- first post so be gentle.
I've had a hardtail for last 5 years (Merlin Malt 4), and just recently my MTB enthusiasm has been reinvigorated and I'm really enjoying it. I've an urge that I want to buy a full suspension bike, but having never ridden one I don't really know why....just excited in a small child/new bike way.
So, good people of Singletrack, how do I justify this to myself, and, obvious next question, what sort of bike to look for? I live in the Lakes and ride the predominantly rocky mountain trails round keswick, as well as Whinlatter trail and occasional trips to 7stanes. Not really looking to get into freeridey/downhilling riding- too scared. Any suggestions?
