Discover MTB bikes for getting started off-road, cross-country training or tackling technical trails. Compare hardtail and full-suspension mountain bikes from Scott, Trek, MMR, Bottecchia and other brands, choosing according to route, size and specification.
How to choose the right MTB bike for you
The right mountain bike depends on the routes you tackle and how you want to ride. For unpaved roads, climbs and flowing trails, consider a hardtail; if you prefer rough terrain and technical descents, consider a full-suspension bike. The catalogue includes brands such as Scott, Trek, MMR, Bottecchia, Megamo, Lapierre, Wilier and Berria.
- Hardtail MTB: has a suspension fork and a frame without rear suspension. Within the same price bracket, it tends to be lighter and requires less suspension maintenance. Explore hardtail mountain bikes.
- Full-suspension MTB: adds rear suspension, which helps maintain grip and control on uneven terrain. Choose travel and geometry according to your intended use from the full-suspension mountain bikes.
- Electric MTB: the motor assists pedalling and helps you tackle climbs and demanding rides. Assess power delivery, battery and overall weight in the e-MTB.
If you are looking for a 29 MTB, bear in mind that wheels of this diameter help roll over obstacles and maintain momentum. However, the choice needs to be matched to frame size and geometry: wheel diameter alone does not indicate whether a bike suits your height.
To choose a size, start with your height and inside leg measurement, then consult the chart for the brand and model. Even when looking for a men's mountain bike, riding position matters most: frame length, handlebar height and adjustment options need to suit you.
Also compare materials and components. Aluminium is a common, versatile choice; carbon allows weight and stiffness to be tailored, but needs to be assessed alongside the specification. For the drivetrain, consider gear range, which is useful on climbs, as well as the number of speeds. Brakes and suspension need to suit the routes.
If you are looking for MTB on offer or end-of-line models, check availability in your size and the features of the individual bike. To learn more, read our mountain bike guide.

Frequently asked questions
Which mountain bike should I choose to get started?
For easy off-road routes and flowing trails, a hardtail MTB is often a good starting point. Choose the correct size first, then assess gearing, brakes and fork according to your routes.
What is the difference between hardtail and full-suspension MTB?
A hardtail only has a suspension fork; a full-suspension bike also has rear suspension. The latter helps on rough terrain, but involves more components to adjust and maintain.
Is a 29 MTB suitable for all heights?
Wheel diameter alone does not determine bike fit. Check the model's size and geometry in the manufacturer's chart, starting with your height and inside leg measurement.
How do I choose the right size men's mountain bike?
Start with your body measurements and the model-specific chart. The men's label does not replace checking your riding position and reach to the handlebar.
What should I check on MTB on offer or end-of-line models?
Check the available size, geometry and specification of the individual bike. A previous-season model may be suitable if it meets your route requirements and needs.
Is an aluminium or carbon MTB better?
Aluminium is common and versatile; carbon allows frames to be designed with different weight and stiffness characteristics. Compare the complete bike, because suspension, wheels and drivetrain affect how it rides.
